Default routes?????????
|
|
| Silkysmoothe1 2001-02-26, 1:39 pm |
| I want to set a default route on my router so that if a packets destinstion addre/has an netork ID that don't match anything in the routers tables, then the routers will know what to do with the packet. I wish to use another command other than IP ROUTE to set default because i need the router to advertise the single network # as the default route or advertise 0.0.0.0 as the default route,(pending on protocol used) which should i use.
a. IP DEFAULT-NETWORK
b. IP-NETWORK
a.) can answ/a being the default route be entered
as a static route?
B.) The default route is used by the router as a
"route/gateway of las resort, in the event
that the router does not have a route in its
routing table for a specified destination ne-
work?
thoroughly confused? does this warrent any acknowledgement???? | |

| I don't think there is a "ip network" or "ip-network" command. This leaves you with the "ip default-network" option. Here's what Cisco says about "ip default-network":
quote:
If the router has a directly connected interface onto the specified network, the dynamic routing protocols running on that router will generate (or source) a default route. For RIP, this is flagged as the pseudonetwork 0.0.0.0; for IGRP, it is the network itself, flagged as an exterior route.
...
The Cisco IOS software uses both administrative distance and metric information to determine the default route. Multiple ip default-network commands can be given. All candidate default routes, both static (that is, flagged by the ip default-network command) and dynamic, appear in the routing table preceded by an asterisk.
If the IP routing table indicates that the specified network number is subnetted and a non-zero subnet number is specified, then the system will automatically configure a static summary route. This static summary route is configured instead of a default network. The effect of the static summary route is to cause traffic destined for subnets that are not explicitly listed in the IP routing table to be routed using the specified subnet.

P.S.

| Thanks dmaftei.
Well,,we can always pretend,,
thanks again for your response. | |

| ip default-network x.x.x.x will do exactly what you want.
Typically it points to your firewall that accesses the internet.
