ip default-gateway This command specifies the default gateway for destinations not found in the local
routing tables. Use the no form to remove a default gateway.
Syntax
ip default-gateway gateway
no ip default-gateway
gateway - IP address of the default gateway
Default Setting
No default gateway is established.
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
â—† The default gateway can also be defined using the following command:
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 gateway-address.
â—† Static routes can also be defined using the ip route command to ensure that
traffic to the designated address or subnet passes through a preferred gateway.
â—† A default gateway can only be successfully set when a network interface that
directly connects to the gateway has been configured on the router.
â—† The same link-local address may be used by different interfaces/nodes in
different zones (RFC 4007). Therefore, when specifying a link-local address for a
default gateway, include zone-id information indicating the VLAN identifier
after the % delimiter. For example, FE80::7272%1 identifies VLAN 1 as the
interface.
Example
The following example defines a default gateway for this device:
Console(config)#ip default-gateway 10.1.1.254
Console(config)#exit
Console#show ip route
