From the file shown, I'm assuming the values to be replaced, are the last in the record, otherwise they can easily be replaced with their actual location in
the record ( say $5, $8, $11...):

Code:
#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter the next hop id:"           id
read -p "Enter the IP address: "           ip
read -p "Enter the interface name:"        intfc
read -p "Enter the enable/disable state:"  enab


awk -v id="$id" -v ip="$ip" -v int="$intfc" -v enb="$enab"  '/next hop id/    {$NF=id}
          						     /IP address/     {$NF=ip}
              						     /Interface/      {$NF=int}
            						     /enable disable/ {$NF=enb}1' file > file.$$ && mv file.$$ file
