default-information originate

Use the default-information originate command to create a default external route into an OSPF routing domain. Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.

Command Syntax

default-information originate (ALWAYSMETRICROUTE) no default-information originate

ALWAYS = always (METRICROUTE) Used to advertise the default route regardless of whether the software has a default route.

METRIC = [METRIC METRIC-TYPE][METRIC-TYPE METRIC] METRIC= metric <1-16777214> (ROUTE)

metric Sets the OSPF metric used in creating the default route. The default metric value is 10. The value used is specific to the protocol.

METRIC-TYPE= metric-type 12 (ROUTE)

metric-type Sets the OSPF external link type for default routes. 1 Sets OSPF External Type 1 metrics.

2 Sets OSPF External Type 2 metrics. ROUTE= route-map WORD

WORD= Specifies the name of route-map.

Command Mode

Router mode

Usage

The system acts like an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) when you use the default-informationoriginate command to redistribute routes into an OSPF routing domain. An ASBR does not by default, generate a default route into the OSPF routing domain.

When you use the default-information originate command, also specify the route-map map-name option to avoid a dependency on the default network in the routing table.

The metric-type is an external link type associated with the default route advertised into the OSPF routing domain. The value of the external route could be either Type 1 or 2; the default is the Type 2.

Examples

ospfd# configure terminal ospfd(config)# router ospf 100

ospfd(config-router)# default-information originate always metric 23 metric-type

2route-map myinfo

default-metric

Use the default-metric command to set default metric values for the OSPF routing protocol. Use the no form of this command to return to the default state.

Command Syntax default-metric<1-16777214>

no default-metric

<1-16777214> Default metric value appropriate for the specified routing protocol.

Default

Built-in, automatic metric translations, as appropriate for each routing protocol.

Command Mode

Router mode

Usage

A default metric facilitates redistributing routes even with incompatible metrics. If the metrics do not convert, the default metric provides an alternative and enables the redistribution to continue. Default-metric command is used to cause the current routing
