enable ospf originate-default {always} cost cost type [ase-type-1 | ase-type-2] {tag number}

Description

Enables a default external LSA to be generated by OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), if no other default route is originated by OSPF by way of RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and static route re-distribution.

Syntax Description

cost Specifies a cost metric.
ase-type-1 Specifies AS-external type 1 routes.
ase-type-2 Specifies AS-external type 2 routes.
number Specifies a tag value.
