Default Route not appearing on ASA

[GRANT3779]

Hi All,

I have configured an ASA 5512 - and simply trying to add a default router out my Outside Interface.

route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

However, when I do a show route, it is not there. Only my directly connected networks show from my Subints.

Is there something that would stop my default route from showing?

Thanks

Hi,

Can't say I have ever run into this problem.

If this ASA is a new/fresh setup then have you made sure that the "outside" interface is UP? That it has connectivity and is not still configured with "shutdown" command. This would be one reason that the route would not show up with the "show route" command.

Does the command "show run route" list the default route in the configuration though?

I do apologise....in my rush getting this tested I had not even plugged in the Outside Interface yet. Was too busy focusing on my Lan side!!! oops.

Hi Grant

I think the physical interface is shut thats why you are not able to see the rotue associated with that interface.

Please collect the following outputs:

sh int ip b

sh run route

sh route
