Hi,

it can be done with:

neighbor 1.1.1.1 default-originate

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5187/products_command_reference_chapter09186a008017d02a.html#wp1037042

In case this should be the only route sent, add a prefix-list permitting only 0.0.0.0/0

neighbor 1.1.1.1 prefix-list DefOnly out

prefix-list DefOnly permit 0.0.0.0/0

Hope this helps! Please rate all posts.

Regards, Martin

Probably took longer to post and reply than to use CCO search ;-)

Anyhow, this is what the forum is here for ... I mean to help, not to support lazyness.

Have fun, Martin

Some other ways to inject the default in BGP:

1-

router bgp x

network 0.0.0.0

Make sure you have the default route in the RIB.

2-

router bgp x

redistribute

default-information originate /* to allow redistribution of the default route in BGP*/

Make sure you have the default route in the RIB (either static or from the specific routing protocol).

Hope this helps,
