Operating Systems Solaris Default route ( netstat -nrv ) is removed/missing after platform patch

Just to be clear - this is for a "root" or global zone, right - not a non-global zone?

Don't forget that routes added manually (by CLI) will NOT survive a reboot (in Solaris). Anyone disagree with that??

Create/configure a /etc/defaultrouter file.

Yes, a very good point from jim mcnamara......we're not talking about a non-global zone here are we?

The route command creates data that is kernel persistent only - meaning it does not survive a reboot.

I do. You can set routes that will survive a reboot with at least Solaris 10 and newer:
Code:
$ man route
...
    -p  Make changes to the network route tables persistent across system restarts.
