Hi,

 

I am trying to send a default route with eigrp to other routers..

 

This is my config :

 

router eigrp 1

 redistribute static route-map DEFAULT_STATIC_REDISTR

 passive-interface default

 no passive-interface GigabitEthernet0/2

 no passive-interface ATM1/0.3

 network 213.162.233.108 0.0.0.3

 network 213.162.235.16 0.0.0.3

 default-information out DEFAULT

 no auto-summary

 

ip access-list standard DEFAULT

 permit 0.0.0.0

 

route-map DEFAULT_STATIC_REDISTR permit 1

 match ip address DEFAULT

 

 

This is coming in fine to the eigrp topology table and routing table on the
other routers..

 

nhus-gw#sh ip eig to

IP-EIGRP Topology Table for AS(1)/ID(213.225.71.129)

 

Codes: P - Passive, A - Active, U - Update, Q - Query, R - Reply,

       r - reply Status, s - sia Status

 

P 0.0.0.0/0, 1 successors, FD is 284160

         via 213.162.235.17 (284160/28160), Ethernet3/0

 

D*EX 0.0.0.0/0 [170/284160] via 213.162.235.17, 1d03h, Ethernet3/0

 

 

But what I am wondering is what is the default-information out DEFAULT

Command really do. From what I see the default is sent fine without it
to the other routers.. So why do we need this command and when do we
need it..???

 

 

Jens
