7. Configure default route

Static routes are routes that are manually configured and entered into the routing table.

The router uses static routes:

• When the router does not have a route to a destination that has a better (lower) preference value. The preference is an arbitrary value in the range from 0 through 255 that the software uses to rank routes received from different protocols, interfaces, or remote systems. The routing protocol process generally determines the active route by selecting the route with the lowest preference value. In the given range, 0 is the lowest and 255 is the highest.

• When the router cannot determine the route to a destination.

• When the switch is forwarding unroutable packets.

To configure basic static route options using the CLI:

[edit]
admin@#set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 <next-hop gateway>

Example :

admin@#set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 172.16.10.2
