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

Hi,
 Summary :for BGP you can assume default-information originate is a kind of
redistribution. So a default route must be on the routing table.
 * second tip : network *** mask *** -> you can accept this kind of
interpretation of BGP ; to redistribute of its local networks.

don't forget to check DOC-CD :)

Usage Guidelines

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.
