While configuring static routes for
a virtual router on the firewall, you can enter an IP
address for the Next Hop router. Palo Alto Networks firewall
treats the
Next Hop
IP address as an
address object. Therefore, if you configure the Next Hop IP
address () value same as the configured Address object
name (), then any modifications to the address
object will reflect in the
Next Hop
IP address value also. That is, renaming the address object () will also rename the Next Hop IP
address.
