I have a question regarding Fatkid lab #212 "IP Routing with EIGRP". In the solution, they show R2 with a floating static as follows: ip route 200.100.100.0 255.255.255.248 212.1.22.33 200 which basically encompasses the loopback address of R3. Why did they do it this way? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have done: ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 212.1.22.33 200 I mean, afterall, once R2's serial link goes down, it has no way to get anywhere, and wherever it wants to go, should trigger the dial backup imho.
