You can only configure one default route on your X4000 . If you set up access to
the Internet, you must therefore configure the route to your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) as a default route.
If, for example, you configure a corporate network connection, only enter the
route to the head office or branch office as a default route if you do not configure
Internet access over X4000 .
If, for example, you configure both Internet access and a corporate network
connection, enter a default route to the ISP and a network route to the head
office.
