282 CHAPTER 14: CONFIGURING IP
Adding the Default Route
The default route is a special kind of static route. When the Cuda 12000
must forward a packet, but it cannot determine the route to the packet’s
destination, the Cuda 12000 forwards the packet to the next hop associated
with the default route.
Unlike other static routes, you only have to specify the IP address of the next
hop (gateway) when adding the default route.
To add the default route, perform the following task:
Example
cli:192.168.208.3:root# ip route default 201.1.1.10
cli:192.168.208.3:root# show ip
row count: 8

Local Local 155.144.1.0 255.255.255.0 155.144.1.1 0 1/8/1
Local Local 199.3.1.0 255.255.255.0 199.3.1.1 0 131/1/1

Local Local 201.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 201.1.1.1 0 1/1/1
Local Local 201.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 201.1.2.1 0 1/1/1
Local Local 222.2.2.0 255.255.255.0 222.2.2.2 0 1/11/1
Net Mgmt Remote 222.2.3.0 255.255.255.0 222.2.2.1 1 1/11/1
When you display the routing table, note that the default route has a
Destination of 0.0.0.0 and a Net Mask of 0.0.0.0.
Task Command
From any mode, add the default
route.
