You can always put the quad zero route on all your routers, which solves the
problem as well.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (or whatever -- and,
actually, it was in Wright's "IP Routing Primer"), I learned that IGRP
does not advertise network 0.0.0.0 as a default candidate (even with
"redistribute static".
So, you have to define some other network to flag as a default candidate
and to advertise if you want IGRP to propagate it.

That's about all I will say --
except that I *highly* recommend that book.
It will make you think longer and harder about topics that you consider
simple and that you thought you knew than you ever wanted to.

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?

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
