default

Adds a default route to the routing table immediately.

Valid Minimum Abbreviation

m ip ro de

Important Considerations

If you define a default route, the system uses it to forward packets
that do not match any other routing table entry. The system can learn
a route using the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), or you can
statically configure a default route.

If the routing table does not contain a default route, the system
cannot forward a packet that does not match any other routing table
entry. When the system drops the packet, it sends an ICMP

destination unreachable

message to the host that sent the packet.
