Typically, the network that you have configured as the default gateway does not require any manual route configuration

because the gateway is capable of providing the reachability. However, for networks where default gateway is not

configured (the Use this connection only for resources on its network check box is selected), a manual route

configuration may be required. Because the default gateway is not configured for this network to reach external
