Subject: ip route: Add option to use nexthop objects
X-Git-Tag: v5.3.0~67^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=12387e2c14d6d256cd068ca11923f23bea6727be;p=thirdparty%2Fiproute2.git

ip route: Add option to use nexthop objects

Add nhid option for routes to use nexthop objects by id.

Example:
  $ ip nexthop add id 1 via 10.99.1.2 dev veth1
  $ ip route add 10.100.1.0/24 nhid 1
  $ ip route ls
  ...
  10.100.1.0/24 nhid 1 via 10.99.1.2 dev veth1
