Re: Type 7 LSA default-originate always

The command does not require a default route to be in the routing table
and so there is no need to have the 'always' option. NSSA areas do not
have a 0.0.0.0/0 route injected from area 0 by default, but this command
can be used to inject one on an ABR.

Except for the directly connected interface in area 0, the command has
no dependency on other routes. If the only area 0 interface fails then
the router ceases to be an ABR and the default route will be withdrawn.
