Encyclopedia > Default route

A Default route is the IP address used by a router when no other assigned route works for a given IP packet's destination. If the router belongs to a large private computer network the default route is usually "aimed" towards the outside of the network, as most routes belonging to the network should have been already specifically setted. Similar in function and behaviour is the default gateway, which is the "default route" for hosts in a LAN.

Configuring a default route (287 words)
It is not required to set default route options; if none are specified, no metrics are applied to the default route.
If the new default route configuration differs from the current runtime environment (that is, from values specified in /etc/default/tcp or set with the route command), you will be prompted to sychronize the new default values.
The runtime default route is not sychronized until the Client Manager exits.
Cisco - Configuring a Gateway of Last Resort Using IP Commands (1435 words)
Default routes are used to direct packets addressed to networks not explicitly listed in the routing table.
Default routes are invaluable in topologies where learning all the more specific networks is not desirable, as in case of stub networks, or not feasible due to limited system resources such as memory and processing power.
The default routes created using the ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 command are not propagated by OSPF and IS-IS. Additionally, this default cannot be redistributed into OSPF or IS-IS using the redistribute command.
