Using route maps in route replication question

[jskrawczyk]

Hi,

In this below config, there are two points, I don't fully understand. Can someone provide the layman's terminology please?

Hi Jeff,

"default-information originate 250 <-- Not sure what this means "

"default-information originate" command followed by a numeric value is not a valid command.

This command basically enables OSPF to originate a default route (Type5) either conditionally or always.

Below are the available options,

R1(config-router)#default-information originate ?

always Always advertise default route

metric OSPF default metric

metric-type OSPF metric type for default routes

route-map Route-map reference

"route-map BGP_to_OSPF deny 10 <-- Not sure what this means. Deny if a match of ACL12 and allow otherwise?"

Yes. If a BGP prefix hits ACL 12, it will be denied and will not be redistributed into OSPF.

HTH,

Nagendra
