IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 = setups up a default route to either an IP address
or an active interface. Used when no known route exists via a routing
protocol. I often use this when a customer is not getting any routes from me
(not running BGP with me) and only needs a route out of their router (access
layer) pointed to my gateway. (distribution layer).
IP default-gateway = setups up a default gateway to use if/when routing
dies. This comes in handy if the IOS happens to get corrupted. The router
can still route to a directly connected gateway. Generally used while
troubleshooting the IOS problem. I've used it when a router's IOS has gotten
corrupted which you'll usually know when you look at the hostname of your
router and it shows "router-name(boot)>" This way, if need be, I can put a
new IOS image on the gateway and then TFTP it do the crippled router.
IP default-network = I've seen this before but have never used it myself.
CCO states:
"The argument network-number is a network number.
If the router has a directly connected interface onto that network, the
dynamic routing protocols running on that router will generate or source a
default route. In the case of RIP and HELLO, this is the mention of the
pseudo-network 0.0.0.0. In the case of IGRP, it is the network itself,
flagged as an exterior route.
A router that is generating the default for a network may also need a
default of its own. This may be done by specifying a static route to the
network 0.0.0.0 via the appropriate router."
I'm not sure when/why you would use "default-network."
Anyone know?

Subject: Simpl-er way to explain Default Gateways [7:792]
I have a friend going through the CCNA classes & the questions he asks
always
dig up topics I have either forgotten or do not use consistantly.
Is there a simple way to explain when to you use:
IP Route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
IP Default-Gateway
IP Default-Network
Thanks
Phil
