A customer has an HP ProVision switch capable of Layer 3 forwarding: however, Layer 3
forwarding is disabled. The switch has an IP address in the management VLAN, where the default
gateway is 10.1.1.1, which ProVision command should the network administrator use so the
ProVision switch can access the Intelligent Management Center (IMC) server in a different VLAN?

A.
IP default-gateway 10.1.1.1

B.
IP route 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 10.1.1.1

C.
Default-route 10.1.1.1

D.
IP route 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1

Explanation:
A default route is a special static route that applies to all traffic. Typically, when the router receives
a packet that it does not know how to forward, it drops it. A default route allows the router to
forward all such packets toward the destination most likely to be able to route them.
To configure a default route, enter a route to a destination address of all zeros with an all-zero
subnet mask. The all-zero subnet mask indicates to the router that a packet’s IP address does not
have to match any of the destination address bits in order for the route to be valid. Because the

router always matches traffic to the most specific route, it will only use the default route for traffic
that would otherwise be dropped.
To configure the default route, move to the global configuration mode context and enter this
command:
Syntax: ip route 0.0.0.0 [0.0.0.0 | /0] <next hop A.B.C.D | forwarding interface ID>
[<administrative distance>]
The ProCurve Secure Router allows you to enter the default route in CIDR notation.
