Your default route SHOULD be a host route.
I somehow missed Bruce's message, but the NetApp only lets me set the default route in one way, and I certainly hope that there are no bugs in their code for doing that. It shows up as a net route, the default is a network, the gateway is a host. Like Tom says for Solaris.
That is open to interpretation, I guess. I've used systems that were fussy about this point and did not add a correct route if it was not a network route. It may be system administration through old wives tales, but I haven't run into a system yet where specifying the net option for a default route would not work or break something. I have found systems in which the reverse was true.
BTW, here is the output of route add default on Solaris 2.6:
#route add default 10.10.10.10 10 add net default: gateway 10.10.10.10(Hmmmmmmmm???)
To the IP address of the router.
You mean "_through_" the IP address of the router.
