advertsing default route in eigrp

[carl_townshend]

can anyone tell me how i advertise a default route in eigrp, i dont want to re-distribute a static, I have heard there is another command, is it ip-default network or something like that ?

There are a number ways to advertise a default-route in EIGRP:

- redistribution, which you don't want to do

- use of the 'ip default-network' command to mark a network as being a candidate default route

- use of the 'ip summary-address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 eigrp ' command.

if I used the ip summary address on this interface, would this just advertise the 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 network to other routers ? and they wouldnt use this if they had a more specific route ?

That is correct. These routes will still perform longest match routing.
