Mark,
I may be taking your statement out of context but let me clarify it anyway.
BGP "default-info originate" does not work the same as with some of the
other routing protocols. BGP will not *create* a default route just because
you use this command (like OSPF can do). There are two ways to get a
default route into the BGP RIB:
1.
router bgp 1
redist <protocol>
default-information originate
(if you leave either statement out it will not go in the RIB)
2.
router bgp 1
network 0.0.0.0 <-- puts it in the RIB *and* advertises it
But both methods require you to have a 0.0.0.0 route already in
the local routing table.
