Applying the default route policy to an interface

You can configure an interface to listen for a default route and/or supply a default route. You can also configure an interface to specify the metric (cost) of the default route, which will be advertised if the interface is configured to supply a default route.

To apply the default route policy to an interface:

  1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose IP Routing > DVMRP.
    2. The DVMRP dialog box opens with the Globals tab displayed.
  2. Select the Interface Advance tab.
    3. The DVMRP Interface Advance tab opens and displays the DVMRP configuration options.
  3. Configure the default route policy for a selected interface as follows:
    1. To set the interface to listen for a default route, set the DefaultListen field for the interface you want to modify to true.
      2. If you do not want the interface to listen for a default route, set the DefaultListen field to False.
    2. To set the interface to supply only a default route, set the DefaultSupply field for the interface you want to modify to true.
      3. If you do not want the interface to supply only a default route, set the DefaultSupply field to false.
    3. To set the metric (cost) of the default route to be used when this switch advertises this default route, enter the number of hops for DVMRP in the DefaultRouteMetric field; the range is 1 to 31.
  4. Click Apply to save the new configuration.
