Hello Anita,

on R1 you need also

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.10.1

R1 can advertise net 192.168.10.0/24 with an externa flag to a third router in net 172.16.0.0/16 via EIGRP

R2 should be out of EIGRP domain

the context is :

R3 -------- R1 --- default network -- GW=R2

<--EIGRP---->

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hi,

Use the network command to pass the default route to neighbor.

eg.

router eigrp 110

Hello Anita,

another way to propagate a default route in EIGRP is to use the ip default-network command

router eigrp 1

network 192.168.10.0

network 172.16.0.0

!

ip default-network 192.168.10.0

the requirements are:

the network in the default-network has to be in another major network (Class A,B, C)

a network command for it has to be present in the EIGRP process.

In this case the network propagated is that of the default-network with an EIGRP flag that signals the capability to be network of last resort.

It works also if the network is reached via a static route not only if it is a connected subnet.

This command is also supported by RIP but not by link state protocols

note: the router advertising the default route needs to have its own default static route to be able to route to gateway of last resort.

Hope to help

Hi Giuseppe,

network 172.16.0.0

!

ip default-network 192.168.10.0

and

R2

interface fe0/0

ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

!

router eigrp 1

network 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0

!

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 210.12.1.1

Is it correct?
