Re: Redistributing Default route

Just FYI, in Scott's excerpt it is mentioned that "By default, in normal
areas OSPF routers don't generate default routes into
their routing domains, even if one exists."

This refers to RIP and EIGRP protocols which do redistribute default route
automatically, if "ip default-network" command is present.
