configure iproute add default

configure iproute add default [gateway |ipv6Gateway | ipv6ScopedGateway] {bfd}{metric} {vr vr_name} {multicast |multicast-only |unicast |unicast-only} {vlan vlan_name}

Description

Adds a default gateway to the routing table.

Syntax Description


`gateway`	Specifies a gateway IPv4 address.
`ipv6Gateway`	Specifies a VLAN gateway IPv6 address.
`ipv6ScopedGateway`	Specifies a scoped gateway.
bfd	Enables Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protection for the route. Note: You must type this keyword before specifying a VLAN.
metric	Specifies a cost metric. If no metric is specified, the default of 1 is used.
`vr_name`	Specifies the VR or VRF to which the route is added.

Default

If no metric is specified, the default metric of 1 is used. If you do not specify a VR or VRF, the current VR context is used.

Usage Guidelines

Default routes are used when the router has no other dynamic or static route to the requested destination. A default gateway must be located on a configured IPv6 interface. Use the unicast-only or multicast-only options to specify a particular traffic type. If not specified, both unicast and multicast traffic uses the default route.

Example

The following example configures a default route for the switch:

configure iproute add default 2001:db8::1234:5678
