RE: How is default-information command under router eigrp used?

Remember default-information command is not only meant for dafault
routes, and there is nothing like no default-originate under eigrp
process, on Cisco Routers anyway as of 12.4; maybe you're trying to say,
no default-information out, that way, R2 will not redistribute EIGRP
10's D EX and default routes to EIGRP 20 neighbors.

To control which of the D EX and default routes not to redistribute to
EIGRP 20, use ACL to match those. Like I said before, Cisco brought in
the acl option since 11.2 (generally released for public viewing :-))

Many Thanks

Yemi Salau

Yemi,
Thanks for responding. Here's an attempt at putting your explanation
into a scenario

 10.1.1.1 10.1.2.1 10.1.2.2
10.1.3.1
----eigrp10------(f0/0)R1(s0/0)-----------eigrp10-------------(s0/0)R2(f
0/0)---eigrp20--

R1
int f0/0
  ip add 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
int s0/0
  ip add 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
  ip summary-add eigrp 100 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
router eigrp 10
  net 10.1.2.1 0.0.0.0
  net 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0

R2
int f0/0
  ip add 10.1.3.1 255.255.255.0
int s0/0
  ip add 10.1.2.2 255.255.255.0
router eigrp 10
   net 10.1.2.2 0.0.0.0
  redistr eigrp 20
router eigrp 20
  net 10.1.3.1 0.0.0.0
  redistr eigrp 10
  no default-originate out

R2 is receiving a default from R1 on process eigrp10, and redistributing
to process eigrp20. Would the use of this command as indicated then
prevent R2 from sending the default into eigrp20? If yes, how do ACLs
fit in?
