Since Policy Routing takes higher priority and the router will bypass its
routing table when it forwards these matched packets, if there's no
valid default next-hop, all these packets are simply droped.
do I miss something here?

Subject: What's the point of this?
Hi guys,
That prior question about conditional redist static got me thinking about
the verify-availability command.
In the Command Reference I found another command which also uses the
verify-availability.
set ip default next-hop x.x.x.x
set ip default next-hop verify-availability
What's the point of this?
Just think about this. If a certain next-hop is the default next-hop that
means this next-hop should be used if there's no other choice.
But, if there's no other choice, what happens if this default next-hop is
NOT available?
Doesn't this seem to be a contradiction?
Can someone provide an example where this command should be used and what
happens if the default next-hop is NOT available?
TIA, Tim
