Default routes are not enabled in RIP unless specified. Use the default-information originatecommand in the ROUTER RIP mode to generate a default route into RIP. In FTOS, default routes receivedin RIP updates from other routes are advertised if the default-information originate command isconfigured.To configure FTOS to generate a default route, use the following command in the ROUTER RIP mode:Use the show config command in the ROUTER RIP mode to confirm that the default route configurationis completed.Summarize routesRoutes in the RIPv2 routing table are summarized by default, thus reducing the size of the routing tableand improving routing efficiency in large networks. By default, the autosummary command in theROUTER RIP mode is enabled and summarizes RIP routes up to the classful network boundary.Command Syntax Command Mode Purposedefault-information originate [always] [metricvalue] [route-map route-map-name]ROUTER RIP Specify the generation of a default routein RIP.
