How do you change the IP default gateway configuration to allow Software Management to upgrade a device?

A. Use the IP default gateway configuration command to convert to a static IP route. Replace ip default-gateway gateway_ip_address with ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 gateway_ip_address, which removes the ip default-gateway command from the configuration file. Check the output of the show ip route command to verify the correct configuration of a static IP route on the device. Q. Why does Software Management require Cisco IOS Software Release 11.1 or later to run on a Single Flash Bank (SFB) device for an upgrade when you have configured the device with Frame Relay subinterfaces? A. Releases earlier than Cisco IOS Software Release 11.1 do not include Frame Relay subinterfaces in ifTable and ipRouteTable in RFC 1213. Software Management requires information from these tables to perform Rxboot mode upgrades. Therefore, Software Management requires Cisco IOS Software Release 11.1 or later to run on an SFB device when the device has Frame Relay subinterfaces.
