algorithm. It can be updated or deleted by the neighbor Discovery algorithm when it
detects changes in the topology.

A "Locked" neighbor entry is a "Dynamic" neighbor entry saved into nvram. The "Locked"
neighbor entry behaves like a "Dynamic" neighbor except it is saved into nvram and will be
recovered after a reboot.
11.4.3 Route to Neighboring ViPRs
 Hop Count and Next Hop
Indicates the route the remote ViPR can be reached - when HOP COUNT is 1, the device can
be reached directly. When HOP COUNT is more than 1, it can be reached by passing though
another ViPR as identified by the NEXT HOP field.

 Test Connectivity

 Add Static Entry
By pressing the “Add Static Entry” button, a popup appears and the user can add a new
static neighbor entry. To create the new neighbor, completely fill in all the information
asked for in the pop-up window. The requested fields are described below. Finally, the user
