Default Route
Parameters Meaning
Advertise Activates/deactivates OSPF advertisements of default routes learned
from other protocols.
For example, area border routers of stub areas advertise a default route
into the stub area via summary link advertisements. When you configure
the router as an AS boundary router, it advertises the default route in AS
external link advertisements.
Possible values:
marked
When active, the router advertises default routes.
unmarked
(default setting)
When inactive, the router suppresses advertisements of default
routes.
Advertise Always Displays whether the router always advertises 0.0.0.0/0 as the default
route.
When routers forward an IP packet, the router always forwards the packet
to the best matching destination address. A default route with a destination
address of 0.0.0.0 and a mask of 0.0.0.0 is always a match for every IP
destination address. Matching every IP destination address allows an AS
boundary router to function as a gateway for destinations outside of the
AS.
Possible values:
marked
When active, the router always advertises 0.0.0.0/0 as the default
route.
unmarked
(default setting)
When inactive, then the device uses the settings specified in the
"Advertise" parameter.
Metric Displays the metric of the default route, which OSPF advertises when
learned from other protocols.
Possible values:
1..16777214
(default setting:
0
)
A
0
indicates that the parameter is unspecified.
Metric Type Displays the metric type of the default route which OSPF advertises when
learned from another protocol.
Possible values:
external type 1
Includes both the external path cost from the ABR to the ASBR that
originated the route plus the internal path cost to the ABR that
advertised the route in the local area.
external type 2
(default setting)
Includes only the external path cost.
