How can you add a mask of 25 bits to your default route? Then the route would be for traffic destined for addresses 0.0.0.0-0.0.0.255...<br />
<br />
The mask portion of the destination route is the 2nd set of octets. For example if the route was 10.1.1.0 with a next hop of 206.111.111.111 then the syntax would be <br />
ip route 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 206.111.111.111<br />
<br />
Incidentally, the &quot;permanent&quot; keyword does nothing for you in this case. Static routes are always permanent in that the route is always in the configuration. It's not like on a PC. On the router, it means that it will still try to route traffic to the next hop even if the interface that connects to it is down- probably not what you want.

Cisco router ip route command syntax

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
