Re: IGRP=default-network EIGRP=?

Thx to all for the responses. I did not observe the injected default
routes that Brian so kindly illustrated on my example *until* I
entered #no auto-summary. (please remember in my example I was trying
to emulate a IGRP network with a EIGRP network and #auto-summary
because my IOS did not support IGRP). So I can conclude from my
network too the default-network will only work with a non-classful
EIGRP network. I hope this is what other members of the forum observe.
