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 can not find a match in the
routing table for an IP packet. The following example shows how to create a default route.
