UPDATE: Default-Information Blocking in EIGRP Not Working

Hi All

I tried the following just to nail this thing down and it worked! But I
have seen an eg on groupstudy where Brian Dennis managed to block the
0.0.0.0 route - not too sure how that was managed...below is my example
of how I got it working...

Excerpt from case:

The "<no> default-information originate {in|out}" command in EIGRP is
not intended to influence EIGRP behavior in regard to the 0.0.0.0/0
default route. Instead, it is used to allow or deny the acceptance of
routes flagged as candidate defaults due to the use of "ip
default-network" configuration.

So I tried this in the lab by using the ip default-network command on r1
and redistributing static into eigrp (so it would know where 196.1.1.0
was) -- there is no static default at all now: see below for r1:

R1(config)#do sh run | incl ip route|ip defaul
ip default-network 196.1.1.0
ip route 196.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 174.1.26.6

R1(config)#do sh run | be router eigrp
router eigrp 1024
 redistribute static metric 1 1 1 1 1500
 network 150.1.1.1 0.0.0.0
 network 174.1.13.1 0.0.0.0
 network 174.1.145.1 0.0.0.0
 no auto-summary
 eigrp router-id 150.1.1.1

R1(config)#do sh ip route | incl Gateway|196.1.1.0
Gateway of last resort is 174.1.26.6 to network 196.1.1.0
S* 196.1.1.0/24 [1/0] via 174.1.26.6

Then on R4 without ip default-information (I needed to clear ip route
on R1 to get this to refresh properly) - -see the 196.1.1.0 is marked as
candidate default and there is a default gateway...

R4(config-router)#do sh ip route | incl Gateway|196.1.1.0
Gateway of last resort is 174.1.145.1 to network 196.1.1.0
D*EX 196.1.1.0/24 [170/2561536256] via 174.1.145.1, 00:00:07, Serial0/0

Add no ip-defaut-information in on r4 and get the routing table to
refresh.

R4(config-router)#no default-information in
R4(config-router)#
CCIE_IE_LAB>1
[Resuming connection 1 to r1 ... ]
do clear ip route *
R1(config)#
CCIE_IE_LAB>2
[Resuming connection 2 to r4 ... ]
R4(config-router)#do sh ip route | incl Gateway|196.1.1.0
Gateway of last resort is not set
D EX 196.1.1.0/24 [170/2561536256] via 174.1.145.1, 00:00:07, Serial0/0

See the route is cleared of the * - so it's no longer a candidate
default and the Gateway is no longer set. This works the other way with
outbound on R1 as well.

I cannot get the 0.0.0.0 to be blocked at all -- no matter what (using
the same logic). This, to me, seems to be the way this command 'should'
work...not too sure how Brian got the 0.0.0.0 route blocked....
