Configuring a Default Route

Default routes can provide backup routes if primary connections fail or if the route information for a destination is unknown. A router uses the default route in its IP forwarding table to route traffic toward a destination for which no routing entry exists. The accepted BGP convention is to represent a default route by the network prefix 0.0.0.0/0.
