default gateway vs the all 0s route

mmedwid

I tried to set a default route on a 3750 switch:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1

But this did not work to route the traffic to other subnets.

"ip default-gateway 10.1.1.1" however did work to route.

Why did my all-0's route not work? Thanks.

I suspect that you have not configured or enabled 'ip routing' in global config?

Hope this helps.

Allan is correct if ip routing is not turned on you basically have a layer 2 switch which doesn't route thus you cannot put a default static route in , only a default gateway statement will work and that is to just basically manage the switch if routing is turned off.
