DES-7200 Configuration Guide Chapter 1 Protocol-Independent
Configuration
1-3
S 10.0.0.0/8 [1/0/6] via 172.0.1.2
The maximum number of static routes is 1024 by default. If the number of static
routes configured exceeds the specified upper limit, they will not be automatically
deleted, but the addition will fail.
To view the configuration of IP route, execute the show ip route command to
view the IP routing table. For details, refer to Protocol-independent Command
Configuration.
1.1.2 Configuring Default Route
Not all devices have a complete network-wide routing table. To allow every device
to route all packets, it is a common practice that the powerful core network is
provided with a complete routing table, while the other devices have a default
route set to this core router. Default routes can be transmitted by the dynamic
routing protocols, and can also be manually configured on every router.
Default routes can be generated in two ways: 1) manual configuration. For details,
see Configuring Static Routes in the last section; 2) manually configuring the
default network.
Most internal gateway routing protocols have a mechanism that transmits the
default route to the entire routing domain. The device that needs to transmit the
default route must have a default route. The transmission of the default route in
this section applies only to the RIP routing protocol. The RIP always notifies the
“0.0.0.0” network as the default route to the routing domain. For more information
on how OSPF generates and transmits the default routes, see OSPF Routing
Protocol Configuration Guide.
To general static routes, execute the following commands in the global
configuration mode:
Command Function
DES-7200(config)# ip default-network network
Configure the default network.
DES-7200(config)# no ip default-network
network
Delete the default network.
