How-To Geek
Set the Default Route on Solaris
Setting the default route on Solaris is easy. If you are trying to just set the route temporarily you can use the route command:
route add default <ipaddress>
Example:
route add default 192.168.1.1
If you want the route to be persisted when you reboot the system, you will need to set the route in the /etc/defaultrouter file.
/etc/defaultrouter
Example:
echo 192.168.1.1 > /etc/defaultrouter
Note that Solaris 10 includes “zones” that can also configure this same behavior. There will be more articles covering this in the future.
