RE: BGP synchronization

Is only a default route enough? When synchronization
is enabled, I think for each route to be inserted into
routing table, a same route should be learned from
IGP. Now only a default route is learned, I think if
a IBGP peer learns a default route, it will put it
into routing table. How about other routes?

    

Thanks for help.
