Since the ro ute to 1 02.0.0. 1/2 4 is not an IGP ro ute, the Lay er 3 Switch cannot reach the ne xt hop through IP , and thus cannot use the BGP r oute.
1014 PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration Guide 53-1002266-01 Optional configuration tasks 30 This Laye r 3 Switch can use this route because the Lay er 3 Switch has an IP r oute to the ne xt-hop gate wa y . Without recursive ne xt-hop look ups, th is route w ould not be in the IP rout e table.
