Configuring Default Gateway

Configuring Default Gateway on AMG510 & AMG570 Switches

A default gateway is a node in the network that serves as the forwarding host to other networks when no other route specification matches the destination IP address of a packet.


Here is a guide on configuring AMG switches with default gateway on AMG510 & AMG570 switches:

 

Web GUI

Step 1: On the left-hand side of the Web GUI navigate to Configuration > System > IP

Step 2: Press “Add route” under “IP Routes” and, add a default gateway as shown in the image below

 

Step 3: Once you have entered a default gateway/route, press Save

Step 4: To verify your configuration of the default gateway, on the left-hand side of the Web GUI navigate to Monitor > System > IP Status and look for your configured route under IP routes as shown in the image below and save the config as the start-up config:

Command Line Interface (CLI)

Step 1: Log in to the switch via SSH or Console

Step 2: Enter configuration mode by entering the command configure terminal

configure terminal

Step 3: Once you have entered the configuration mode, Use the following command to change the IP: “ip route [Network_Address] [Network_Mask] [Gateway_Address]”, For example ip address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.250where 0.0.0.0is the Network_Address and Network_Mask and 192.168.1.250is the Gateway_Address

ip route [Network_Address] [Network_Mask] [Gateway_Address]

Step 4:  Exit configuration mode by typing “exit”
