•Originate Default Route 2 – Generates a default external route into an autonomous system. Note that the AS Boundary Router field must be enabled, and the Advertise Default Route field properly configured.

(Default: Disabled)

•Advertise Default Route 2 – The router can advertise a default external route into the autonomous system (AS). (Options: NotAlways, Always; Default: NotAlways)

-Always – The router will advertise itself as a default external route for the AS, even if a default external route does not actually exist.

-NotAlways – It can only advertise a default external route into the AS if it has been configured to import external routes via RIP or static configuration, and such a route is known. (See “Redistributing External Routes” on page 210.)

•External Metric Type 2 – The external link type used to advertise the default route. Type 1 route advertisements add the internal cost to the external route metric. Type 2 routes do not add the internal cost metric. When comparing Type 2 routes, the internal cost is only used as a tie-breaker if several Type 2 routes have the same cost. (Default: Type 2)

•Default External Metric 2 – The Metric assigned to the default route. (Range: 1-65535; Default: 10)
