static route or IP default network using RIP

Ciscopimpenator

I'm reading Odem's ICND book and he talks about how the static route
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 is advertsied by RIP.

I read somewhere online that in order to advertise a default route with RIP you must use the ip default network command.

Who is right?

I know for sure ip default network will be advertised, but will the static route 0.0.0.0 be advertised with RIP?

I believe if that you want to advertise a static route with RIP, you need to use the redistribute command:
Check this command in global config mode:
RIP redistribute ?
"static" should be the next parameter.

I guess Odem made a booboo in the ICND book. He says you can advertise the static route 0.0.0.0 with RIP.

I checked on the Internet and nobody else mentions this. Sometimes things change with IOS versions so you never know.

In old ios versions rip would automatically inject the default route.I'm not sure exactlt in what version ios the change came about but now you must use the "default-information originate" or "redistribute static".
