Configuring RIPv6
118428-A Rev. A 4-5
Supplying a Default Route
When the routing table does not contain the route to a particular destination
address, the router looks for a default route to the destination. Like any other route
in the routing table, the default route can be acquired dynamically (by means of a
routing protocol) or entered statically (by you).
This parameter is independent of the RIP Supply parameter. A configured policy
can override the parameter.
By default, RIP does not supply a default route.
If you choose Enable, RIP advertises the default route if it is present in the routing
table -- that is, if you have statically included a default route in the table or if the
router has learned the default route dynamically.
If you choose Generate, RIP advertises a default route whether or not a default
route is present in the routing table. (This parameter does not cause RIP to create a
routing table entry for a default route; the route will not be visible in the routing
table.)
You can use the following Site Manager procedure to perform this operation.
