For changing the current gateway: use the "route" command.

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60130/route.1M.html

route delete default 1
route add default 1

Note the "1" at the end: for a gateway route, this hop count value must always be at least 1. If you forget to specify it, you will get an error message, as the default hop count value is 0.

For making the change persistent across reboots: edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf using your favorite editor.

Also make sure you do this from the console since the lack of a gateway could severely impact your ability to communicate with the server.
