You are looking at the help for a RIP router process, I bet. This is an OSPF default-information help:

[7:72211] Hello, (config-router)#default-information ? allowed Allow default information in Accept default routing information out Output default routing information There is no such thing is default-info originate. All the above are default with cisco I believe, I still don't understand what Daniel said about ip default-network How do create an ip default-network to equal to ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.1.1 ? The way I am doing now is just redistribute static and maybe filter to only 0.0.0.0 with route-map Thanks.

Will IGRP and EIGRP do this automatically or do they need default-information originate, I wonder? It's probably not worth testing on my routers because they are so old they won't take a recent IOS version. When I get back to my work lab I could test it, but that won't be until September.
