Configuring RIP
If the router has a default network path, RIP advertises a route that links the router to the pseudonetwork
0.0.0.0. The 0.0.0.0 network does not exist, but is treated by RIP as a network to implement default
routing. The switch advertises the default network if a default was learned by RIP or if the router has a
gateway of last resort and RIP is configured with a default metric. RIP sends updates to the interfaces in
specified networks. If an interface's network is not specified, it is not advertised in any RIP update.
