How do you configure a default route with gateway 192.168.1.1 from RouterOS?

• A. /ip route add gateway=192.168.1.1/24
• B. /ip route add gateway=192.168.1.1
• C. /ip route set default gateway=192.168.1.1
• D. /route add gateway=192.168.1.1

Answer: (B)

Configuring a default route means telling RouterOS where to send traffic for destinations not covered by more specific routes. In MikroTik RouterOS, the default route is 0.0.0.0/0. You create it by adding a route and leaving the destination unspecified, so RouterOS treats it as the default. The gateway parameter sets the next-hop IP for that traffic. Therefore, the command to configure a default route with gateway 192.168.1.1 is:

/ip route add gateway=192.168.1.1

The other forms don’t fit: attaching a/24 mask to the gateway is invalid since masks apply to destinations, not the gateway itself; using set would modify an existing route rather than create the default route; and using /route instead of /ip route uses a different command path in RouterOS.
