Command Usage

The metric for the default external route is used to calculate the path cost for traffic passed from other routers within the AS out through the ASBR.

When you use this command to redistribute routes into a routing domain (i.e., an Autonomous System, this router automatically becomes an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR). However, an ASBR does not, by default, generate a default route into the routing domain.

-If you use the always keyword, the router will advertise itself as a default external route into the AS, even if a default external route does not actually exist. (To define a default route, use the ip route command.)

-If you do not use the always keyword, the router can only advertise a default external route into the AS if the redistribute command is
