RE: rip default route vs summary 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

Hi guys,

I've been playing around with this myself.

Here's the situation.

I have 3 rip routers all connected by an ethernet segment.

R1's is connected to this ethernet segment via its e0/0 interface.

I want R1 to advertise a default route out its e0/0 interface but not any
other rip enabled interfaces.

This is R1's int e0/0 config:

interface Ethernet0/0
 ip address 192.10.7.3 255.255.255.0
 ip rip authentication mode md5
 ip rip authentication key-chain RIP
 ip summary-address rip 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

This default route wasn't showing up in the route tables on the other rtr's
on the segment, so I enabled debug ip rip on R1.

*Mar 1 20:54:36.242: RIP: sending v2 update to 224.0.0.9 via Ethernet0/0
(192.1
0.7.3)
*Mar 1 20:54:36.242: RIP: build update entries
*Mar 1 20:54:36.242: 0.0.0.0/0 via 0.0.0.0, metric 16, tag 0

Notice the metric 16 on the line above.

OK, so that's why the default route isn't showing up on the other routers.

But, the question is this: Why is R1 tagging this route with a metric of
16?

This is further confirmed by this debug output from another router on this
segment:

20:59:19: RIP: received v2 update from 192.10.7.3 on Vlan32
20:59:19: 0.0.0.0/0 via 0.0.0.0 in 16 hops (inaccessible)

Another question is this: What method, if any, exists to make this default
summary route have a lower hop count?

I know I haven't solved the problem, but, hopefully I've added clarity to
the issue.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the 'ip summary-address rip'
command only works if you disable split-horizon on the interface also.
Regardless if it's a multipoint interface or not. I'm not sure why you
would have to though. I've seen sample labs that ask you to send a RIP
default route to a specific router and not use the 'default-information
originate' command. My guess is that it would be good to know this for
the test.
