configure the next hop address of the default route. Use the no form of the
command to delete the default route.
Syntax

no ip route default
next-hop-ip [ preference ]
• next-hop-ip — IP address of the next hop router.
•

of an individual static route. (Range: 1-255)

User Guidelines
For routed management traffic:
1
Router entries are checked for applicable destinations.
2 The globally assigned default-gateway is consulted.
If DHCP is enabled on multiple in-band interfaces and the system learns a
different default gateway on each, the system retains the first default gateway
it learns and ignores any others. If the first default gateway is lost, the system
does not revert to an alternate default gateway until it renews its IP address.
Using this command, the administrator may manually configure a single,
global default gateway. The switch installs a default route for a configured
default gateway with a preference of 253, making it more preferred than the
default gateways learned via DHCP, but less preferred than a static default
route. The preference of these routes is not configurable.
