IRDP/ICMP

Router R3 is connected on it's ethernet interface to SW3 (working only as a l2 switch) and we have to send him default gateway via IRDP. This how such configuration would looks like:

R3


R3#sh run int fast 0/0.50
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 262 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet0/0.50
encapsulation dot1Q 50
ip address 172.16.30.3 255.255.255.128
ip irdp
ip irdp multicast
ip irdp maxadvertinterval 20
ip irdp minadvertinterval 20
ip irdp holdtime 60
ip irdp preference 100
ip irdp address 0.0.0.0 100
end

R3#


and


SW3#sh run int vlan 50
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 93 bytes
!
interface Vlan50
ip address 172.16.30.10 255.255.255.128
ip irdp
ip irdp multicast
end

SW3#


however, to make it work you'd need to enable it by entering

ip gdp irdp


SW3#show ip route
Gateway Using Interval Priority Interface
172.16.30.3 IRDP 20 100 Vlan50

Default gateway is 172.16.30.3
