The default route is not advertised into the OSPFv2 domain.
- always
- Always advertises the default route. If the route table manager does not have a default route, the router advertises the route as pointing to itself.
- metric metric
- Specifies the cost for reaching the rest of the world through this route. If you omit this parameter and do not specify a value using the default-metric router configuration command, a default metric value of 10 is used. Valid values range from 1 through 65535. The default is 10.
- metric-type
- Specifies how the cost of a neighbor metric is determined. The default is type1. However, this default can be changed with the metric-type command.
- route-map name
- Specifies that the default route is generated if the route map is satisfied. This parameter overrides other options. If the set metric and set metric-type commands are specified in the route-map, the command-line values of metric and metric-type if specified, are “ignored” for clarification.
OSPF router configuration mode
OSPF router VRF configuration mode
This configuration provides criteria for the redistribution of any default routes found in the route table manager (RTM),whether static or learned from another protocol, to its neighbors.
The corresponding route-map should be created before configuring the
route-map
option, along with the
default-information-originate
command. If the corresponding route-map is not created beforehand, an error message
is displayed stating that the route-map must be created.
The route-map option cannot be used with a non-default address in the match conditions.
The default route LSA is not generated if a default route is not present in the routing
table and a
match ip address condition for an existing non-default route is configured in the route-map. The
match ip address command in the route-map is a no-op operation for the default information originate
command.
A device does not inject the default route into an NSSA by default and this command
does not cause the device to inject the default route into the NSSA. To inject the
default route into an NSSA, use the
area nssa default-information-originate command.
The
no form of the command disables default route origination.
