Default gateway for what exactly ? (mgmt ? dataplane ?)

For your management interface it's part of the system IP-address configuration command. Here's an example :

admin@PA-200# set deviceconfig system ip-address 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 default-gateway 10.0.0.1 dns-setting servers primary 4.2.2.2

It's explained in this article:

Getting Started: Setting Up Your Firewall

For your dataplane interfaces you can check the following article:

Getting Started: Layer 3, NAT, and DHCP

Note that if you don't know a specific CLI command you can use the following command to find existing command options :

admin@PA-200# find command keyword default-gateway

This will return all the existing CLI commands containing 'default-gateway'

I hope this helps,

From the GUI.

In the virtual router, just add a static route destination 0.0.0.0/0. Next hop. (Gateway address)

I utilized the full command "

 set deviceconfig system ip-address 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 default-gateway 10.0.0.1 dns-setting servers primary 4.2.2.2"

on the command line with a console cable and it cut if off after the netmask 4 digits then placed the rest of the statement "default-gateway...... & dns ontop of that line. So I could only set the ip nothing else. Has any one experienced this? It is a PA 220. Is there a way around it so I can add the default gateway and dns by themselves?
