Default Route Configuration Guide

The document discusses configuring default routes on routers. It explains that a default route defines the router that will be used when there is no matching route in the routing table for a destination network. It provides the syntax for configuring a default route using the IP route command, with a destination of 0.0.0.0 and next hop of the default router IP. The document then gives an example of configuring a default route on routers R1 and R3 to point to router R2 as their default gateway.

Default Routes
 Default routes define a router as the default gateway for your router.

 When there is no entry for the destination network in a routing table, the router will forward the packet to its default router.

 Default routes help in reducing the size of your routing table.


c
 The default route is essentially a static route with a special Destination Network and Network Mask.

 The Special Destination Network is “0.0.0.0”. The special Network Mask is “0.0.0.0”.

IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [Default Router]

 For our network, if R1 wants to reach any of the networks thru R2, I can create a default route using the following:

Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.12.2


Default Route Syntax
 The syntax for the Static Route Command [IP Route] is :

Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [Next Hop Router]


c

 For our network, if R1 wants to reach the 192.168.2.0/24 network, which is


behind R2, you would create a static route using the following:

Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.12.2

 Next Router IP to reach any destination is 192.168.12.2


Configuring Default Routes
 We will delete all the routes configured in the previous lab on R1 & R3.

 R1 only has one way to reach any network, that is thru R2. Similarly, R3
c
only has one way to reach any network, that is thru R2.

We will configure a single default route on R1 & R3 pointing towards R2.

 R2 becomes the Default Gateway for R1 & R3.
