Gateway of last resort via rip

Futura

I have three routers

the 877 is connected to the ISP router so I put in the gateway of last resort to my internet router which is 192.168.0.1 the gateway of the router provided by my ISP

I can ping 4.2.2.2 from the 877 fine,

I enabled rip on all three routers and advertised all the networks and I can ping everything fine except that I cannot ping 4.2.2.2 from the other routers. the other routers do not have a gateway of last resort set.

I went to each router and put in

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 to the next hop towards the internet

It now works fine. Was I asking to much of RIP to redistribute the gateway of last resort?

Many thanks

Today, yes.

In earlier versions of RIP, the default route created using the ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 was automatically advertised by RIP routers. In Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0T and later, RIP does not advertise the default route if the route is not learned via RIP. It may be necessary to redistribute the route into RIP.
