CDP defaults and ODR

Hi,

I observed the following behavior which I don't really understand.

Here's the network layout:

R2- s0.24 p2p---------------s0 R4
 | \ \
 | \ \
s1 s0.123 multipoint
 | \ \
 | / \
 | / \
 | / \
s1 s0 \
  R3 R1

R2 is running ODR and OSPF. R4 is not running any routing protocol and is a
stub router. R1 and R3 are running OSPF. R3's route table showed an ODR
derived default route, *0.0.0.0, from R2 which I didn't want. R1's route
table didn't have an ODR derived default route. At this point I hadn't
changed any of the CDP defaults. And, when I checked on R2 show cdp int, it
showed cdp running on int s1 and s0.24. Interestingly, cdp wasn't running on
int s0.123multipoint.

Question1: Is that the normal behavior of CDP ie. it doesn't by default run
on multipoint F/R subinterfaces although, by default, it runs on p2p
subinterfaces and regular hdlc serial interfaces?

After turning off cdp on R2's s1 interface, I repeatedly checked R3's route
table for several minutes and the ODR derived default route never went away.

Question2: Shouldn't the default route on R3 get flushed out of the route
table and if so, how long should that take?

After manually clearing the default route on R3, I reenabled cdp on R2's s1
interface and checked for several minutes R3's route table but the default
route didn't reappear. Then I enable cdp on R2's s0.123multipoint interface
but still the default route didn't reappear in R3's route table.

Question3: Why doesn't the default route reappear in R3's route table?

Thanks in advance, Raj
