Specifying a Default Route or Gateway of Last Resort

This section describes how to specify a default route with IP routing enabled. For alternative methods
of specifying a default route, see the
note.
The Cisco IOS software uses the gateway (router) of last resort if it does not have a better route for a
packet and if the destination is not a connected network. This section describes how to select a network
as a default route (a candidate route for computing the gateway of last resort). The way in which routing
protocols propagate the default route information varies for each protocol.
For comprehensive configuration information about IP routing and IP routing protocols, see the
Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide. In particular, see the "Configuring IP Addressing" chapter and all
"Part 2: IP Routing Protocols" chapters.
