■ Policy specified by a route map with the default-information originate command
is applied at the same time as the policy for redistributed routes, before any
outbound policy for peers.
■ Example
host1(config)#router bgp 100
host1(config-router)#default-information originate
■ Use the no version to restore the default, preventing the redistribution of default
routes.
■ See default-information originate.
Setting a Static Default Route
You might not want your routers to rely on dynamically learned default routes.
Instead, you might prefer to specify a static default route that your routers use to
forward traffic when they do not have a routing entry for a destination. Use the ip
route command to configure a default route on a router. The static route can point
to a network number, an IP address, or a physical interface. You can add a distance
value to give preference to a specific static route when multiple entries exist for the
same route.
Suppose that in Figure 16 on page 58, router KC has been configured to advertise a
default route to router Chicago:
host1(config)#router bgp 62
host1(config-router)#network 172.17.24.0 mask 255.255.248.0
host1(config-router)#neighbor 10.8.3.1 remote-as 21
host1(config-router)#neighbor 10.8.3.1 default-originate
You prefer that router Chicago send traffic with unknown destinations to router
StLouis, so you configure a static default route on router Chicago:
host2(config)#router bgp 21
host2(config-router)#network 192.168.48.0 mask 255.255.240.0
host2(config-router)#neighbor 10.8.3.4 remote-as 62
host2(config-router)#neighbor 10.24.5.1 remote-as 37
host2(config-router)#exit
host2(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.25.122.0
Router StLouis is configured to advertise network 172.25.122.0/23 to router Chicago:
host3(config)#router bgp 37
host3(config-router)#network 172.25.122.0 mask 255.255.254.0
host3(config-router)#neighbor 10.24.5.3 remote-as 21
