Explanation

Qualified next hops allow you to associate one or more properties with a particular next-hop address. You can set an overall preference for a particular static route and then specify a different preference for the qualified next hop. For example, suppose two next-hop addresses (10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.7) are associated with the static route 192.168.47.5/32. A general preference is assigned to the entire static route, and then a different preference is assigned to only the qualified next-hop address 10.10.10.7. For example: The qualified-next-hop statement with a static route is used to specify multiple next hops for a static route with different preferences (priorities). This allows for more granular control over the path selection process in the event that the primary next hop becomes unreachable.
