Generate 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

Summarize routes

Routes in the RIPv2 routing table are summarized by default, thus reducing the size of the routing table
and improving routing efficiency in large networks. By default, the
ROUTER RIP mode is enabled and summarizes RIP routes up to the classful network boundary.
