This command causes the specified IS-IS router process to generate the default route in its LSPs.
| area_name | Specifies the name of the IS-IS router process that should generate the default route. |
| ipv4 | Specifies that the router process should generate the default IPv4 route. |
| ipv6 | Specifies that the router process should generate the default IPv6 route. |
IPv4: Disabled
IPv6: Disabled
This applies to level 2 routing only. In contrast, level 1 routers compute the default route as the nearest attached L1/L2 router. When enabled, the router process generates an IPv4 default route unless the ipv6 option is specified. Only one level 2 router in the IS-IS domain should be configured to originate a default route. This command has no effect on router processes that are already enabled for default route origination or on router processes that are level 1-only.
The following command directs the IS-IS process named areax to generate the default IPv4 route in it‘s LSPs:
enable isis area areax originate-default
