# Default Gateway/Route

In the past (VyOS 1.1) used a gateway-address configured under the system tree
({cfgcmd}`set system gateway-address <address>`), this is no longer supported
and existing configurations are migrated to the new CLI command.

## Configuration

```{cfgcmd} set protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop \<address\>

Specify static route into the routing table sending all non local traffic
to the nexthop address \<address\>.
```

```{cfgcmd} delete protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0

Delete default route from the system.
```


## Operation

```{opcmd} show ip route 0.0.0.0

Show routing table entry for the default route.

:::{code-block} none
vyos@vyos:~$ show ip route 0.0.0.0
Routing entry for 0.0.0.0/0
Known via "static", distance 10, metric 0, best
