Hi all.
The explanation on Cisco web site for default-information originate under
BGP is as follows:
The default-information originate command is used to configure a BGP routing
process to advertise a default route (network 0.0.0.0). A redistribution
statement must also be configured to complete this configuration or the
default route will not be advertised.
The configuration of the default-information originate command in BGP is
similar to the configuration of the network (BGP) command. The
default-information
originate command, however, requires explicit redistribution of the route
0.0.0.0. The network command requires only that the route 0.0.0.0 is present
in the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing table. For this reason, the
network command is preferred.
I did not understand why the redistribution statement is required & the
explanation about the network statement.
Your valuable inputs will be appreciated.
Regards
Shamin
