The routing table
The routing table contains the routes that have been established and are currently in use, as well as the default route specification. The default route entry routes to destinations that are not listed in the routing table. You can set the default route in Data ONTAP either during initial setup or by modifying the /etc/rc file.
- Ways of specifying the default route
You can specify the default route using the etc/rc file, router discovery, or Routing Information Protocol (RIP). If IPv6 is enabled on your storage system, the default route is generated automatically.
- How to manage the routing table
You can manage the routing table automatically using the routed daemon, or manually using the route command. The routed daemon is enabled by default.
