eigrp default route

[ciscoforum]

remeber it used to be this command to allow propagate default route into eigrp

router eigr 100

network 10.0.0.0

default information allow

But it seems no longer working. verison 12.3. Thanks

Are you sure it isn't supported in 12.3 code? Here's the output from a router running version 12.4. Your syntax is slightly off.

R3(config)#router eigrp 50

R3(config-router)#default-information ?

allowed Allow default information

in Accept default routing information

out Output default routing information

R3(config-router)#default-information allowed ?

in Accept default routing information

out Output default routing information

R3(config-router)#default-information allowed in

let me reword. allow option is still there. but no longer working, the other router just doesn't receive the defaut route.

what command are you using to "push" the default route to the eigrp instance? I believe it would be "default information originate" under the protocol that is sharing with eigrp 100.

"default information originate" is used under OSPF and BGP, not EIGRP. You can use redistribute static on the router holding the default route.

For instance

router eigrp 5

redistribute static

network 10.0.0.0

no auto-summary

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 null0

The command 'default information allow' is to allow or block the default route from being injected by a neighbor router. By default, allow is turned on so it won't show in the config. Similar to the auto-summary / no auto-summary service under EIGRP.
