Configure default route on 6024
I'm contemplating using a 6024 for the backbone on our LAN but I am confused regarding how to configure a default route such that it can forward packets to our Internet gateway.
The 6024 would be configured with a dozen vlan interfaces, each vlan having it's own ip subnet. One ethernet port on the 6024 would be connected to an ethernet interface on a linux host configured as a gateway to the Internet. The address of this linux host's intranet network interface is 192.168.1.1. I know how to add routes to the linux host.
What cli command(s) would I use to configure a default route on the 6024 such that it always forwards those packets addressed to non-local destinations on to the linux host as a next hop (192.168.1.1)?
Thanks for any help.

To add a default route, the command is the same as adding a static route to the PowerConnect 6024:
switch# configure
switch(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 switch(config)# exit
switch(config)# copy run start (to save your change)
You can check that the default route is in place with the 'show ip route' command. Keep in mind that you'll need to enter routes on the gateway server pointing back into the PowerConnect, so that the gateway can route the responses to the appropriate VLAN on the 6024.
