You need to disable RIPv2 route automatic summarization before advertising a summary route on an

Disabling host route reception

routing and consume a large amount of network resources. You can disable RIP from receiving host
routes to save network resources.
To disable RIP from receiving host routes:

Enabled by default.

NOTE:

RIPv2 can be disabled from receiving host routes, but RIPv1 cannot.

Advertising a default route

You can configure RIP to advertise a default route with a specified metric to RIP neighbors.

In RIP view, you can configure all the interfaces of the RIP process to advertise a default route; in
interface view, you can configure a RIP interface of the RIP process to advertise a default route. The

interface view takes precedence over on the interface.

If a RIP process is enabled to advertise a default route, to disable an interface of the RIP process
from default route advertisement, you can use the rip default-route no-originate command on the

interface.
