Set default route interface in iproute2

iproute2route

I have two machines. One runs arch linux and another runs fedora. arch uses iproute2. so i need a conversion for iproute2 from route. this command will set the default interface to ppp0.

I have searched for documentation but I have still no clue.

How shall do this in iproute2

route add default ppp0

ip route add default via 192.0.2.254

You can't specify a device for a route, it has to be an address. Generally you shouldn't have to do this at all; pppd should take care of adding a default route if it is configured appropriately.
