{originate | only}
Step 4

show running-config

To prevent the default route advertisement, use the no ip dvmrp default-information {originate | only}
interface configuration command.
Responding to mrinfo Requests
The Cisco IOS software answers mrinfo requests sent by mrouted systems and Cisco routers and
multilayer switches. The software returns information about neighbors through DVMRP tunnels and all
the routed interfaces. This information includes the metric (always set to 1), the configured TTL
threshold, the status of the interface, and various flags. You can also use the mrinfo privileged EXEC
command to query the router or switch itself, as in this example:
Switch# mrinfo
171.69.214.27 (mm1-7kd.cisco.com) [version cisco 11.1] [flags: PMS]:
171.69.214.27 -> 171.69.214.26 (mm1-r7kb.cisco.com) [1/0/pim/querier]
171.69.214.27 -> 171.69.214.25 (mm1-45a.cisco.com) [1/0/pim/querier]
171.69.214.33 -> 171.69.214.34 (mm1-45c.cisco.com) [1/0/pim]
171.69.214.137 -> 0.0.0.0 [1/0/pim/querier/down/leaf]
171.69.214.203 -> 0.0.0.0 [1/0/pim/querier/down/leaf]
171.69.214.18 -> 171.69.214.20 (mm1-45e.cisco.com) [1/0/pim]
171.69.214.18 -> 171.69.214.19 (mm1-45c.cisco.com) [1/0/pim]
171.69.214.18 -> 171.69.214.17 (mm1-45a.cisco.com) [1/0/pim]

Purpose
Advertise network 0.0.0.0 to DVMRP neighbors.
Use this command only when the multilayer switch is a neighbor of
mrouted version 3.6 machines.
The keywords have these meanings:
•
originate—Specifies that other routes more specific than 0.0.0.0 can
also be advertised.
•
only—Specifies that no DVMRP routes other than 0.0.0.0 are
advertised.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
