Netscreen config question

[David Newman]

Thanks to all who replied. David Klein hits the issue on the head here:

> All routers need a default gateway (or a dynamic routing protocol).

It's that latter bit that threw me. All the Cisco/Nortel/Juniper/Ajax
routers I've ever configured didn't ask for a default gateway -- because, as
routers, they run routing protocols to dynamically build routing tables.
Duh! The Netscreen box *is* a router, in that it moves packets between
subnets using IP network information as its path selection criterion;
however, the NS5 is not a dynamic router in that it doesn't support routing
protocols.

Sorry to bother the list with a such a dumb and basic question.
