I have a 1921 router plugging into Charter coax. The routers Gi0/0 is being assigned a dynamic IP address to the outside. My question is simply how should I route to the outside world when I do not know the IP of the gateway as it might change.
I was thinking of doing
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Gi0/0
When I type that in I get the following returned to me, should I be alarmed?
%Default route without gateway, if not a point-to-point interface, may impact performance
Is there a better way to handle routing everything out an interface? Normally I would point to the next hop, but since the outside interface is dynamic the next hop could change periodically?
