GOL is the last resort tried by the router to send packets bound for unknown destinations.
default network command, specifies the network (e.g. the ISP's network) to which the un-known destination packets will be forwarded to. This is particularly useful when you move frequently, but have a well known network that can successfully route packets to the desired destinations for which routes may not exist in your routing table as you relocate. For e.g. when at location A, your default gateway to the ISP may be 172.16.1.1, now if you relocate to B even though the ISP is the same, your default gateway address is now 192.168.1.1. However you know that there is a common network at the ISP that is reachable from either locations e.g. 10.1.1.0. Thus in this situation, to prevent re-configuration on your router you would configfure the default network referring to 10.1.1.0 Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=42136&t=42099 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
