Cisco IOS command : default-information originate vs redistribute static

ciscoeigrpospfrip

I am quite confusing with the Cisco IOS command.

what's the actual difference between redistribute static as i learn in EIGRP whereas default-information originate in RIP/RIPv2/OSPF?

I hope to get some answer over here as i can't find the difference from google neither cisco website.

default-information originate injects a default route (ie 0.0.0.0/0) in the routing table of the peers, while redistribute static will redistribute static routes (ip route xxx) into the routing protocol.

In the end I had to enlist the help of the Cisco 877 that was the gateway and setup a static route to the other network via the router.

It looks like you entered those commands directly in 'enable' mode. You probably just need to enter configure mode.

ASA5510-01# configure terminal

or as a shortcut

ASA5510-01# conf t

Once you are in configure mode, the prompt and static command will look like this:

ASA5510-01(config)# static ? 
configure mode commands/options:
  (  Open parenthesis for (<internal_if_name>,<external_if_name>) pair where
     <internal_if_name> is the Internal or prenat interface and
     <external_if_name> is the External or postnat interface

And from there, any configuration commands should work.
