Re: Redistributing Default route

Hello Sachin.
redistributing default route is not supported under OSPF, and you have to
use "default-information-originate" instead.
"default-route" in this case is not "default candidate" in "show ip route"
output, but a route with a prefix of /0, and because 0.0.0.0/0 has exactly
that prefix, it classifies as such.

If you want default route to still exist in OSPF domain, even when RIP stops
advertising it, you should use "default-information-originate permanent"
command. Without the "permanent" keyword it is going to dissapear as soon as
RIP route to 0.0.0.0/0 goes away.
