Dear all,

   I am not understand why the BGP conditional advertised default
route is going to be like that in this router.

! Here is the BGP setting and the route-map
router bgp 700
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 network 7.7.7.0 mask 255.255.255.0
 neighbor 172.16.34.3 remote-as 100
 neighbor 172.16.34.3 default-originate route-map existLo
 neighbor 172.16.34.4 remote-as 100
 neighbor 172.16.34.4 default-originate route-map existLo
!
!
access-list 7 permit 172.16.107.0
!
route-map existLo permit 10
 match ip address 7
!

! Here is the routing table
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
       i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter
area
       * - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR
       P - periodic downloaded static route

Gateway of last resort is not set

     172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 16 subnets
i L1 172.16.61.0 [115/40] via 172.16.34.4, Ethernet1/0

i L1 172.16.36.0 [115/40] via 172.16.34.4, Ethernet1/0

i L1 172.16.110.0 [115/20] via 172.16.34.4, Ethernet1/0

i L1 172.16.105.0 [115/20] via 172.16.34.4, Ethernet1/0
i L1 172.16.106.0 [115/40] via 172.16.34.4, Ethernet1/0
C 172.16.107.0 is directly connected, Loopback107
i L1 172.16.101.0 [115/20] via 172.16.34.4, Ethernet1/0
i L1 172.16.102.0 [115/20] via 172.16.34.4, Ethernet1/0
i L1 172.16.103.0 [115/40] via 172.16.34.4, Ethernet1/0
     7.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 7.7.7.0 is directly connected, Loopback71

! BGP default route is not advertised
FRS#sh ip bgp nei | in def
  Default information originate, default route-map existLo, default not sent
  Default information originate, default route-map existLo, default not sent

! Then I change the access-list 7, and the default route is advertised
FRS#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
FRS(config)#no access-list 7
FRS(config)#access-list 7 permit 172.16.107.0 0.0.0.255
FRS(config)#end
FRS#sh ip bgp nei | in def
  Default information originate, default route-map existLo, default sent
  Default information originate, default route-map existLo, default sent
FRS#

Any idea? Here is the "sh ver" output of the router:
FRS#sh ver
