Disabling injection of default routes on a Controller

About this task

By default, a DvR Controller injects default routes into the DvR domain and all the Leaf nodes in that domain learn these routes with the next hop as the Controller that advertised them.

You can however disable default route injection for the GRT or a specific VRF on a Controller, to override this behavior.

Procedure

  1. Enter either Global Configuration mode or VRF Router Configuration mode for a specific VRF context:

    enable

    configure terminal

    Optional: router vrf WORD<1-16>

  2. Disable default route injection for the GRT or a specific VRF, on the Controller.

    On the GRT:

    dvr controller inject-default-route-disable

    The default or the no operator enables injection of default routes for the GRT into the domain.

    On a VRF instance:

    dvr inject-default-route-disable

    The default or the no operator enables injection of default routes for a specific VRF into the domain.

  3. Verify the configuration.

    On the GRT:

    show dvr

    On a VRF instance:

    show dvr l3vsn

Example
