To display the status of the default gateway list, use the routed status command.
The -n option forces the command to display numeric values for gateway names. An

The /etc/dgateways file in the root volume is the configuration database for the
routed daemon. From the routers that routed has determined to be alive, routed
selects the one with the highest preference to be the default router. When the filer
cannot find an explicit route for a packet, it routes the packet to the default router.
