Add a Default Route

When IP routing takes place on a switch, a routing table is needed for the switch to forward
the packet based on the destination IP address. The route entry in the routing table can
either be created dynamically through routing protocols like RIP and OSPF, or be manually
created by the network administrator. The route created manually is called the static or
default route.
A default route is used for forwarding the packet when the switch cannot find a match in the
routing table for an IP packet. The following example shows how to create a default route.
