Origination of
default routes
You can enable a router to originate default routes
for the following route exchange protocols, on an
individual protocol basis:
• RIP

Default network
route
The router uses the default network route if the IP
route table does not contain a route to the
destination and also does not contain an explicit
default route (0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 or 0.0.0.0/0).
None configured page 1000

Source
interface
The IP address the router uses as the source
address for Telnet, RADIUS, or TACACS/TACACS+
packets originated by the router. The router can
select the source address based on either of the
following:
• The lowest-numbered IP address on the
interface the packet is sent on.
• The lowest-numbered IP address on a specific
interface. The address is used as the source for
all packets of the specified type regardless of
interface the packet is sent on.
The lowest-numbered IP
address on the interface
the packet is sent on.
