For CoreBuilder 9000: Applies to Layer 3 switching modules only.

Configures a default route for IP multicast traffic on a DVMRP interface.
This interface advertises itself as a default route to neighboring DVMRP
routers.

Valid Minimum Abbreviation

ip m d d

Important Considerations

A default route metric of 0 means that the default route function is
not activated on the interface (interface does not advertise 0.0.0.0 to
DVMRP routers). Values other than 0 means that the default route
function is activated and these values represent the “cost” of the
default route.

Definitions of default route modes:

all — The interface advertises the default route plus all other
known routes to neighboring DVMRP routers.

only — The interface advertises only the default route to
neighboring DVMRP routers.

If the system learns a default route, it propagates it no matter which
mode is set on a given interface.

The system allows you to configure an interface as a DVMRP default
route, even when DVMRP is disabled on the interface. If DVMRP is
disabled, the interface does not advertise itself as a default route.
