Adding a Default Gateway
A default network gateway may be required if routers are included in your
network. The default network gateway is used when trying to send packets to IP
destinations that are not on the same subnet as the line card. All packets on this router
whose destination address is not found in the routing table, are routed to this
destination.
The default gateway is not required if you enable Router Discovery. It is
also not typically needed if you enable RIP. For example, if your system received RIP
messages containing a default route, then you do not need to configure a default gateway.
