3-10 CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURING MANAGEMENT ACCESS TO THE SYSTEM
Flushing a Route
Flushing deletes all learned routes from the routing table.
To flush all learned routes, enter the following from the top level of the
Administration Console:
ip route flush
All learned routes are immediately deleted from the routing table.
Setting the Default Route
The system uses the default route to forward packets that do not match any
other routing table entry. A system can learn a default route using RIP, or
you can configure a default route statically.
If a system’s routing table does not contain a default route, either statically
configured or learned using RIP, then it cannot forward a packet that does
not match any other routing table entry. If it cannot forward a packet for
this reason, then it drops the packet and sends an ICMP “destination
unreachable” message to the host that sent the packet to notify it of the
problem.
To statically configure the default route:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip route default
2 Enter the gateway IP address of the route.
The default route is immediately added to the routing table.
Removing the Default Route
To remove a default route, enter the following from the top level of the
Administration Console:
ip route noDefault
The default route is immediately removed from the routing table.
