Routing Information Protocol

Generate a default route

Traffic is forwarded to the default route when the traffic’s network is not explicitly listed in the routing 
table. Default routes are not enabled in RIP unless specified. Use the 

 

command in the ROUTER RIP mode to generate a default route into RIP. In FTOS, default routes received 
in RIP updates from other routes are advertised if the 

 command is 

configured.

To configure FTOS to generate a default route, use the following command in the ROUTER RIP mode: 

Use the 

 command in the ROUTER RIP mode to confirm that the default route configuration 

is completed.

Summarize routes

Routes in the RIPv2 routing table are summarized by default, thus reducing the size of the routing table 
and improving routing efficiency in large networks. By default, the 

 command in the 

ROUTER RIP mode is enabled and summarizes RIP routes up to the classful network boundary.
