Why Traffic Can't Be Forwarded from a VPC with a Route Destination of 0.0.0.0/0 to Its Enterprise Router?

Scenarios

Traffic cannot be forwarded from a VPC to the enterprise router that it is attached to if you set the destination of a route in the VPC route table to 0.0.0.0/0 and:
  • An ECS in the VPC has an EIP bound.

    Refer to solution 1.

  • ELB, NAT Gateway, VPC Endpoint and DCS are deployed in the VPC.

    Refer to solution 1 or solution 2.

    When method 2 is used, if a VPC wants to access public network, the traffic from the VPC is forwarded to the enterprise router and then to the public network. For this reason, if a VPC accesses the public network using an EIP, do not use this method.

Solutions

Select a solution based on your actual service scenario.
  • Solution 1: Change the destination (0.0.0.0/0) of the default route to a specific IP address range, for example, 192.168.0.0/16.
  • Solution 2: Add eight routes with specific IP address ranges as the destination to replace the default route (with a destination of 0.0.0.0/0).
