4. For Destination Type, select Default Gateway.
5. For Gateway Address, type the next-hop address.
6. For Metric, type 0.
7. For Distance, type 1.
8. Click OK. The route is now displayed in the Network > Routing > Static Routes
window.
Note The TMS zl Module can know multiple default routes. The default route with
the lowest administrative distance (or, in the case of a tie, the lowest admin-
istrative distance and the lowest metric) takes precedence.
For example, the module might learn a default route from a routing protocol,
and you might create a static default route as well. The route with the lower
administrative distance is used.
You can also create multiple static default routes. For example, you could
create one default route over a primary GRE tunnel and another default route
over a secondary GRE tunnel. The route with the lower administrative dis-
tance and metric is used unless the associated tunnel interface goes down, in
which case, that route is removed from the routing table and the second
default route is added.
