Not an issue of errata but of reading a little further. If there is a default static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2 and RIP on the router then: that router will use the static as its gateway of last resort and RIP will advertise that route to its neighbors. For IGRP and EIGRP see Doyle p 756 "Default routing is somewhat different for IGRP and EIGRP. These protocols do not understand the address 0.0.0.0. Rather, they advertise an actual address as an external route...." Use the ip default-network command to create that route. ip default-network 10.0.1.0 (or whatever - plus in EIGRP one can add a mask) The router on which that is configured will advertise that route to its neighbors. See also "EIGRP Network Design Solutions" page 219-223 (It appears the book is out of print. There are a few available on Amazon.) So - the sentence in Doyle p 753 "After a default route is identified in the routing table, RIP, IGRP, and EIGRP will automatically advertise it." - is true as long as we understand that "default route" means different things for RIP vs EIGRP. No redistribution commands are used.
Now - the original point of this thread was 'has the treatment of default routes - particularly by RIP - changed in newer versions of IOS?' Some weeks ago I did some testing and did not find any change (used 11.1 through 12.2). However, I seem to remember some discussion by Chuck and others in the past on this subject. I haven't searched the archives - so am open to anyone proving otherwise. > -----Original Message----- > From: Priscilla Oppenheimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > But, alas, this didn't work on IGRP or EIGRP. > > So if anyone has a good errata for Doyle, Volume I, is this in it?
