Layer 3 Routing Commands 1561
ip route default
Use the ip route default command in Global Configuration mode to
configure the next hop address of the default route. Use the no form of the
command to delete the default route.
Use of the optional VRF parameter executes the command within the
context of the VRF specific routing table.

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.
