That's where default-information differs from distribute-list,
distribute-list as we know, traditionally prevents certain routes from
being advertised to EIGRP neighbors or prevent certain routes from being
added to the RIB table.

Defualt-information on the other hand deals with exterior and defualt
route "across redistribution points/routing domains".

Many Thanks

That's my understanding of it. I wonder if it can suppress default
information coming from a peer in it's own EIGRP AS?
