RIP 
AND DEFAULT ROUTE
Note: RIP Version 1 does not support Default Route.
A default route can be received from another RIP router or it can source the 
default route by itself. In both cases, the default route is advertised to other RIP 
routers. A default route can be sourced either with the default-information 
originate command or from another routing protocol via redistribution.
