| Description | The default gateway IP address is the address of the
next hop router the switch uses to reach a non-local IP
host when the switch does not know the return route.
During a normal management protocol exchange with an IP
client host, the switch simply sends its response onto
the same route from which the request was received. The
default gateway route is only used when the switch itself
initiates an exchange, e.g., a TFTP upgrade, with the
client.
This object is writable only if the value of
ipConfigMethod is set to manual(1).
A write to this object will take effect immediately,
replacing the previous address, if any. The default is
0.0.0.0, or no address. |
