About the Default Gateway

</h1>
<a name="wp1073144"> </a><p class="pBody">
You can configure a default gateway IPv4 address on your Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch.

</p>
<a name="wp1073099"> </a><p class="pBody">
The default gateway IPv4 address should be configured along with the IPv4 static routing attributes (IP 
default network, destination prefix, and destination mask, and next hop address). If you configure the 
static route IP forwarding and the default-network details, these IPv4 addresses will be used regardless 
of the default-gateway being enabled or disabled.

<strong>Tip	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> If you configure the static route IP forwarding and the default-network details, these IPv4 addresses will 
be used regardless of the default-gateway being enabled or disabled. If these IP addresses are configured 
but not available, the switch will fall back to using the default gateway IP address, if you have configured 
it. Be sure to configure IP addresses for all entries in the switch.
