Add a Default Route

When IP routing takes place on a switch, a routing table is needed for the switch to forward the packet based on the destination IP address. The route entry in the routing table can either be created dynamically through routing protocols like RIP and OSPF, or be manually created by the network administrator. The route created manually is called the static or default route.

A default route is used for forwarding the packet when the switch cannot find a match in the routing table for an IP packet. The following example shows how to create a default route.

CLI: Add a Default Route

(FSM7338S) (Config) #ip route default?

<nexthopip> Enter the IP Address of the next router. (FSM7328S) (Config)#ip route default 10.10.10.2

Note: IP subnet 10.10.10.0 should be configured using either port routing

(Enable Routing for Ports on the Switch on page 62) or VLAN routing (see Set Up VLAN Routing for the VLANs and the Switch on

page 73).
