Hey Scott,

My lab is turned off @ the moment... But when I labbed this earlier with
the attached bit configured ... I was not able to generate a 0/0 route.

When I study later on, I will try this again and post configs if it
still does not work. Thanks Scott, chat soon

Andrew

The attached bit is normally set when you have an L2 connection
someplace. Then your L1 routers get this bit and generate a 0/0 to the
L1/L2 guy. If you do NOT have an L2 connection and still want to give a
default route to your L1 peers, use the "set-attached-bit"

If your lab mentions something about creating a delay on reboot where
you will make sure tables stabilize before routing (or wanting a routing
table, but making nobody ever come through you (ISIS stub routing?))
then you may consider the overload bit.

Cheers,

Scott
