default-gateway?
 
I thought this was only applicable when the router was not being a
router??
 
Anyway, I was a bit curious, as I remember that, at least on recent
code,
IOS will parse EIGRP code in interesting ways with options that do not

seem to exist, for example:
  
3725#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
3725(config)#router eigrp 1
3725(config-router)#default ?
  address-family Enter Address Family command mode
  auto-summary Enable automatic network number summarization
  default-information Control distribution of default information
  default-metric Set metric of redistributed routes
  distance Define an administrative distance
  distribute-list Filter networks in routing updates
  eigrp EIGRP specific commands
  maximum-paths Forward packets over multiple paths
  metric Modify EIGRP routing metrics and parameters
  neighbor Specify a neighbor router
  network Enable routing on an IP network
  offset-list Add or subtract offset from RIP metrics
  passive-interface Suppress routing updates on an interface
  redistribute Redistribute information from another routing
protocol
  timers Adjust routing timers
  traffic-share How to compute traffic share over alternate
paths
  variance Control load balancing variance
 
3725(config-router)#default network ?
  A.B.C.D Network number
 
3725(config-router)#default network 100.100.100.0
3725(config-router)#end
 
This does nothing, the router just accepts the command and forgets
about it?
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Now, on to the default-network...
First, we see our EIGRP AS has two networks defined with no static
routes.
 
router eigrp 1
 network 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
 network 2.2.2.0 0.0.0.255
 no auto-summary
!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Now we issue the command "ip default-network 100.100.100.0"
 
3725#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
3725(config)#ip default-network 100.100.100.0
3725(config)#end
3725#sh run
!
router eigrp 1
 network 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
 network 2.2.2.0 0.0.0.255
 no auto-summary
!
ip route 100.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 100.100.100.0
!
 
We see that the command inserted the line "ip route 100.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
100.100.100.0"
A classful route was entered as a result of the command

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Let's add a second default-network...

3725#
3725#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
3725(config)#ip default-network 172.172.172.0
3725(config)#end
3725#sh run
!
router eigrp 1
 network 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
 network 2.2.2.0 0.0.0.255
 no auto-summary
!
ip route 100.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 100.100.100.0
ip route 172.172.0.0 255.255.0.0 172.172.172.0
!

Again we see a classful static route installed for the network we
defined.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Not trying to over-simplify, just understand more :) ?????
Now I am more confused than when I started.
Can anyone explain this better?
 
I understand the installation of the classful networks,
it's the anomalies I can't get past
Commands that do nothing
April fools?
 
Not that it matters:
3725#sh ver
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) 3700 Software (C3725-JK9S-M), Version 12.3(9b), RELEASE
SOFTWARE (fc1)
