Dear Paul,

IRDP is used for helping hosts to find their default gateway.The host may
be a PC or a router (ip routing disabled).

You can test it with routers or with PCs.The config is as follows. If you
want to test it with a PC you can replace R3.

R1

int eth 0

ip add a.b.c.d 255.0.0.0

ip irdp

ip irdp preference 1

R2

int eth 0

ip add a.e.f.g 255.0.0.0

ip irdp

ip irdp preference 2

R3

no ip routing

ip gdp irdp

int eth 0

ip add ....

The logic for IRDP router preference is also weird. The logic is as follows:

R1 - preference = 1 = 01 <--- in binary

R2 - preference = 2 = 10 <--- in binary

NOW invert :

R1 - preference = 1 = 10 <--- in binary

R2 - preference = 2 = 01 <--- in binary

NOW add one :

R1 - preference = 1 = 11 <--- in binary

R2 - preference = 2 = 10 <--- in binary

Convert back to decimal

R1 - preference = 1 = 3 (new value)

R2 - preference = 2 = 2 (new value)
