default-gateway

Description

Assigns an IPv4 or IPv6 default gateway to the management interface. An IPv4 default gateway can only be configured if a static IPv4 address was assigned to the management interface. An IPv6 default gateway can only be configured if a static IPv6 address was assigned to the management interface. The default gateway should be on the same network segment.

The no form of this command removes the default gateway from the management interface.
