Description
Specify the next-hop address for sending copies of packets to an analyzer.
(This paragraph applies only to routers.) The commit operation fails when a next-hop group has only one interface configured. It is implicitly assumed that a subgroup is up only if more than one interface in the subgroup is up.
(This Note
applies
only to routers.) In Junos OS releases through Release 14.2,
the next-hop-group statement is present in the
forwarding-options stanza for a routing instance, but the
next-hop-group statement is not allowed in a routing
instance. In other words, in a routing instance, [edit routing-instances
routing-instance-name forwarding-options
next-hop-group] is not supported. You will get an error message if
you try to commit this type of configuration. Starting in Junos OS Release 14.2,
the next-hop-group statement is not present in [edit
routing-instances routing-instance-name
forwarding-options].
