Layer 3 Routing Commands 1530
set ip default next-hop
Use this route map clause to override default entries in the routing table.
Packets that can routed by an active explicit route in the routing table are not
affected by this clause. Use this command to set a list of default next-hop IP
addresses to be used if no explicit route for the packet’s destination address
appears in the routing table. If more than one IP address is specified, the
reachable address in the list is used. Use the no form of this command to
remove a set command from a route map.
Syntax
set ip default next-hop ip-address [ip-address]
no set ip default next-hop ip-address [ip-address]
ip-address — The IP address of the next hop to which packets are routed. It must be
the address of an adjacent router.

User Guidelines
A packet is routed to the next hop specified by this command only if there is
no active explicit route for the packet’s destination address in the routing
table. A default route in the routing table is not considered an explicit route
for an unknown destination address.
Only one of set ip next-hop, set ip default next-hop, or set interface null0
may be specified in a route map.
Example
console(config-route-map)#set ip default next-hop 192.0.2.2
