====== CONFIGURING A DEFAULT GATEWAY ======



**Note:** //The default gateway of a layer 3 switch is provided by static routing. A device can also learn network routing through a dynamic routing protocol so as to implement remote management. For the configuration specification of other routing protocols, see IP Route (for the configuration method, see Common Function Configuration > IP Route).//


**Configuring the Default Gateway of a Switch**

Configure the default gateway, that is, default route, of a layer 3 switch.


//Ruijie>enable//

//Ruijie#configure terminal//

//Ruijie(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254//    //------>**configure default gateway of switch as 192.168.1.254**//

//Ruijie(config)#end//

//Ruijie#write //        //**------>save configuration after checking.**//


===== Verification =====


//Ruijie#show ip route//

//Codes:C - Connected, L - Local, S - Static//

//R - RIP, O - OSPF, B - BGP, I - IS-IS, V - Overflow route//

//N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2//

//E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2//

//SU - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2//

//IA - Inter area, * - candidate default//

//Gateway of last resort is 192.168.1.254 to network 0.0.0.0//

//S*  0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 192.168.1.254//
