Default Route; Displaying The Ipv4 Active Route Table - HP 1910 User Manual

Static routes cannot adapt to network topology changes. If a fault or a topological change occurs in the
network, the network administrator must modify the static routes manually.

Default route

A default route is used to forward packets that match no entry in the routing table.
Without a default route, a packet that does not match any routing entries is discarded and an Internet
Control Message Protocol (ICMP) destination-unreachable packet is sent to the source.
You can configure default routes in the web interface in the following ways:
• Configure an IPv4 static default route and specify both its destination IP address and mask as
0.0.0.0.
Configure an IPv6 static default route and specify both its destination IP address and prefix as ::/0.
