Default Routs for ASA Firewall

[Waterbird]

Question on Default Routes:

I have an ASA 5506-X connected to an inside LAN network, and the outside interface will be connected to an ISP.

For the default route, should it be the ISP's next hop that I point to?  For example:

route outside 0 0 x.x.x.x

Where x.x.x.x is the ISP's router.

Hi,
Yes, your example is correct, the next hop for the default route would be the ISP's router IP address.

yes, route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 NXT-HOP-IP

means if packet needs to be routed to a subnet not in the routing table, 

it will use the outside interface & send to next hop - ISP IP
