Advertising a default route
You can configure RIP to advertise a default route with a specified metric to RIP neighbors.

interface view, you can configure a RIP interface of the RIP process to advertise a default route. The
interface view takes precedence over on the interface.
If a RIP process is enabled to advertise a default route, to disable an interface of the RIP process
from default route advertisement, you can use the rip default-route no-originate command on the
interface.
