Name

ip default-gateway — global

Synopsis

ip default-gateway address
no default-gateway address

Configures

The default gateway for the router

Default

None

Description

This command establishes address as the router’s default gateway, which is the gateway to which nonlocal packets are forwarded in the absence of a better route. It is useful if the no ip routing command has been issued or if you are running from boot mode, in which IP routing is disabled. This command allows you to forward traffic to the default gateway when routing is disabled. Use the no form of this command to remove the entry from the router’s configuration.
