Generating 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
default-information originate command
in the ROUTER RIP mode to generate a default route into RIP. In Dell Networking OS, default routes
received in RIP updates from other routes are advertised if the
default-information originate command is
configured.
To configure Dell Networking OS 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 configuration is
completed.
