My last answer was confusing as I didn't say I was answering your
default route question.  But I did. ;-)

route add default gw 192.168.123.254

will result in the netstat -rn output that you posted.  The default
keyword means 0.0.0.0 or a packet going to anywhere outside of the
networks with a specific route known to the kernel.
