Default Routes

IGRP tracks default routes in the exterior section of its routing updates. A router receiving 10.0.0.0 in the exterior section of a routing update would mark 10.0.0.0 as a default route and install its next hop to 10.0.0.0 as the gateway of last resort . Consider the network in Figure 3-6 as an example in which a core router connects to several branch routers in remote sites.

Branch offices only need a default route

Figure 3-6. Branch offices only need a default route

The core router is configured as follows:

   hostname core1
   !
   interface Ethernet0
    ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
   ...
   interface Serial0
   ip address 172.16.245.1 255.255.255.0
   ...
   router igrp 10
3   redistribute static                             
    network 172.16.0.0
4   default-metric 10000 100 255 1 1500             
   !
   no ip classless
5  ip default-network 10.0.0.0
6  ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 Null0

The branch router is configured as follows:

hostname branch1
...
interface Serial0
ip address 172.16.245.2 255.255.255.0
...
router igrp 10
redistribute static
network 172.16.0.0
!
no ip classless

An examination of branch1’s routing table would show:

branch1#sh ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, * - candidate default ...
