'default-information originate' and 'redistribute static'

in CCNA & CCENT
The commands to distribute the default route to the internet seem to be different from rip to EIGRP

I remember in RIP, it's 'default-information originate'. I'm now reading EIGRP, the command I encounter is 'redistribute static'. What about OSPF? Is it different too? Sigh!

    "redistribute static" works on RIP, OSPF and EIGRP
    "default-information originate" works on RIP and OSPF.

    Just be aware that there is a difference between the two commands.

    What's the difference? I thought they do exactly the same thing - distribute a default route to other routers.

    @workfrom925 - I think JoshyJ is gently trying to tell you to Google the two concepts and see the difference for yourself - that's a very important part of the learning process.

    Just Googled. Thanks. Hehe I'm running out of the time. Trying to finish all the CCNA material and catch the cert exam before the Sept. deadline.

    Try the two-part route (pun intended).
