Release Information

Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Options

address—Address of the default router.
destination destination-address—(Optional) Destination address that is reachable through the backup router. Include this option to achieve network reachability while loading, configuring, and recovering the router, but without the risk of installing a default route in the forwarding table.
