E-Lab 6.1.4 - Configuring Default Route Forwarding
In this lab, configuring a default static route will be examined.
Default static routes are used as a last resort when there is no know entry in the routing table.
Step 1
Enter into privileged EXEC mode.
Step 2
Enter into global configuration mode.
Step 3
Use the command ip route to create a default static route that tells the router to send all unknown traffic to the serial 0 interface.
A default static route consists of a destination network of 0.0.0.0 with subnetmask of 0.0.0.0.
This subnetmask means it does not have to match any of the network portion.
Step 4
Exit back into privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
Now save the configuration you have just created using the copy command.
