2.5.2 Configuring RIP to Advertise Default Routes

A default route is a route destined for 0.0.0.0. By default, RIP does not advertise default routes
to its neighbors.
Context
Do as follows on the RIP switch:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
rip [ process-id ]
The RIP process is enabled and the RIP view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
default-route originate [ cost cost | { { match default | route-policy route-policy-
name } [
RIP is configured to generate a default route only if route permitted by the route policy is present
as active in the routing table.

Disabling interfaces from sending Update packets is a method of preventing routing loops and
can be implemented in two ways.
