The easy solution to this problem is to use a static route. Assume a static
route is not allowed.
eigrp domain rip domain
-------r2----r3----r4----
- r3 is redistributing rip into eigrp 1
- r3 is not redistributing eigrp into rip
- since the rip domain can be likened to a stub network, I'd rather just
originate a default route from r3.
- r3 has a candidate default network from elsewhere in the eigrp domain,
which it selects as its gateway of last resort.
Docs indicate that simply adding the command "default-information originate"
to the RIP process on r3 will advertise a 0.0.0.0/0 route. The docs don't
say that a 0.0.0.0/0 route must already be in the table, but it appears to
be the case. If I add a static default route to r3, there's no problem.
I guess my problem is that from what I understand in the lab static routes
are not allowed. Is there any other way to get a default without using a
static? I've saved previous threads on this topic, and everybody seems to
think RIP will just blindly advertise 0.0.0.0/0 if the def-inf orig command
is configured.
Also, from the perspective of the lab, do static routes that point to null0
"count" in that you're not allowed to configure them unless otherwise
stated? Currently this is a grey area. Will the lab provide the crystal
clear answer to this question?
