<para>You can easily define the default route via the
<filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> file. In our example, on the
<hostid>Local2</hostid> machine, we added the following line
in <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>defaultrouter="10.20.30.1"</programlisting>
<para>It is also possible to do it directly from the command
line with the &man.route.8; command:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>route add default 10.20.30.1</userinput></screen>
