Advertise Default Route with BGP
If you are used to using the "Default-Information Originate" command with OSPF or EIGRP to easily advertise a default route, you might be surprised to find that solely applying that command within BGP does not advertise a default route. You must also use Redistribute Static
in conjunction with Default-Information Originate
. Your BGP config would look something like this:
router bgp 65000
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
redistribute static
neighbor 10.10.10.10 remote-as 65010
default-information originate
no auto-summary
Both commands are needed whether you are using eBGP or iBGP.
