When the default route name is changed to something other than "default", this results in the management route being lost after reboot, leading to no access to BIG-IP systems via the management address.
After rebooting, the default route via the management interface no longer exists in the routing table. BIG-IP administrators are unable to connect to BIG-IP Virtual Edition via the management address.

Use either of the following workarounds: -- Delete the route completely and reinstall the route. -- Restart mcpd: bigstart restart mcpd
