RE: Can you redistribute a default route from one protocol to

Hi Greg,

In order for the redistributed route to be originated into the ospf
areas you will need the "default-information originate" command under
the ospf process on the router doing the redistribution. This will
generate a default route into ospf as long as the RIP route is valid. If
you wish to redistribute a route whether or not the RIP route is valid,
then you will need the "default-information originate always" command
under the ospf process.

Thanks,

Brian

By the way, I tested this with EIGRP and the RIP default DOES get
redistributed into EIGRP.

Must be an OSPF thing....
