defaultroute

Dynamical routing is not configurable in cfengine, but for machines with static routing tables it is useful to check that a default route is configured to point to the nearest gateway or router. The syntax for this statement is simply:

defaultroute:

   class::

      my_gateway

For example:

defaultroute:

  most::

     129.240.22.1

  rest::
 
     small_gw

Gateways and routers usually have internet address aaa.bbb.ccc.1 --- i.e. the first address on the subnet. You may use the numerical form or a hostname for the gateway.
