Thanks a lot for all your answers.

Knowing the fact, that I am not allowed to use any static routes in the
exam,
the redistribution of a default route from another routing protocol (.eg
BGP)
and the use of ip summary-address seems to me the best solutions for this.

Thanks again for your comments..
