Setup Default Static Route on Netgear SRX5308

I am looking to setup a default route to my ISP Consumer Edge switch (We have Metro Ethernet Service with our ISP). 

 

After speaking with my isp I have been instructed to enter a static defualt route of 0.0.0.0/0 to the next hop being our Consumer edge Switch provided by the ISP. 

 

When I attempt to add a static route on the 5308 via Web/Telnet I get the same error. Error is = "destIP IP address AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD where each part is in the range 0..255"

Goal is to be able to add (Destination IP= 0.0.0.0 Subnet= 0.0.0.0 Interface= WAN1 Gateway IP Address= ISP Consumer Edge router Metric=2) 

 

Is there a way to do this successfully on the Netgear? 

Thanks
