Hello, is there a way to assign default route to the INTERFACE name because AT&T is assigning an invalid gateway address.
PROBLEM:
We have a problem whereas AT&T is now assigning a gateway IP address that is not in the network range of the dynamic IP assigned via the DSL modem to ether1.
The MikroTik has a blue entry in the routing table because it can not identify the interface for the gateway because of the invalid network configuration assigned by AT&T.
Example:
Interface: ether1
Dynamic IP: 76.232.244.98
Mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 151.164.182.170
Here is a problem that is near identical to ours except we can not manually assign a gateway because the IP is dynamic from the AT&T DSL modem:

SOLUTION???:
How can we overcome this invalid configuration and program the router indicating the default route should ALWAYS be ether1 regardless of what IP is assigned to that Interface?
Is there a way to assign the default route of the router to the physical Interface (ether1) and disregard the IP information assigned to ether1?
Would it be best to run a script to learn the IP address assigned to ether1 then create a default route that is the last IP (x.x.x.254) of the class C of the IP assigned to ether1?
Many thanks to any and all,
Jeff
