default-originate (bgp-neighbor-config)

Enables the sending of the default route to BGP neighbors. It also allows the configuration of the default route. When enabled and configured, local BGP routers send the default route 0.0.0.0 (or a route map specified route) to its neighbor for use as the default route.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Wireless Controllers — RFS 4000

  • Service Platforms — NX 95XX, NX 96XX

Syntax

default-originate {route-map <BGP-ROUTE-MAP-NAME>}

Parameters

default-originate {route-map <BGP-ROUTE-MAP-NAME>}
default-originate 
{route-map <BGP-ROUTE-MAP-NAME>}
Enables default originate on this BGP neighbor. This option is disabled by default.
  • route-map <BGP-ROUTE-MAP> – Optional. Use this keyword to specify a route map to use as the default originate route.
Note: If no route-map is specified, the default route 0.0.0.0 is sent.
