The correct design is to advertise a default route from the aggregation layer toward the access layer and summarize the VLAN subnets at the aggregation layer toward the core. Cisco hierarchical campus design places summarization at aggregation or distribution boundaries because that is where access-layer routes are collected before entering the core. Summarizing the VLAN ranges into 10.0.0.0/16 hides individual access VLAN instability from the core, reducing routing table entries, protocol churn, and memory consumption on core devices. Sending a default route from aggregation to access also keeps access switches simple and prevents them from carrying unnecessary campus routing detail. This design contains failures and convergence events inside the appropriate block. Summarizing at the access layer is less practical when multiple VLANs aggregate at distribution. Advertising a default toward the core is backwards, because the core must know the summarized access block.
