3Com Switch 8800 Configuration Guide Chapter 19 OSPF Configuration
19-12
z The broadcasting scope of Type-5 LSA or Type-7 LSA advertising the default
route is the same as that of the common Type-5 LSA or Type-7 LSA.
Perform the following configuration in OSPF view.
Table 19-8 Configure OSPF to import the default route
Operation Command
Import the default route to
OSPF default-route-advertise [ always | cost value | type
type-value | route-policy route-policy-name ]*
Remove the imported
default route
undo default-route-advertise [ always | cost | type
| route-policy ]*
By default, OSPF does not import the default route.
If you use the always keyword of this command, the system will generate a Type-5 or
Type-7 LSA no matter whether there is default route in the routing table. Be cautious
that the always keyword is only valid for an ASBR.
Because OSPF does not calculate the LSAs it generated during SPF calculation, there
is no default route in the OSPF route on this router. To ensure the correct routing
information, you should configure to import the default route on the router only
connected to the external network.
Note:
z After the default-route-advertise command is configured on the OSPF router, this
router becomes an ASBR. For the OSPF router, the default-route-advertise and
import-route commands have the similar effect.
z For the ABR or ASBR in the NSSA area, the default-route-advertise and nssa
default-route-advertise commands have the same effect.
