To generate a default external route into an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing domain, use the

Default

-information originate command in router configuration mode. To disable this feature, use the

no form of this command.


Command Syntax

default-information originate [always] [metric metric-value] [metric-type type-value]
no default-information originate [always] [metric] [metric-type]

always

(Optional) Always advertises the default route regardless of
whether the software has a default route.

metric metric-value

(Optional) Metric used for generating the default route. If you
omit a value and do not specify a value using the default-metric
router configuration command, the default metric value is 10.
The value used is specific to the protocol.

metric-type type-value

(Optional) External link type associated with the default route
advertised into the OSPF routing domain. It can be one of the
following values:
1—Type 1 external route
2—Type 2 external route
The default is type 2 external route.


Default

This command is disabled by default.


Command Mode

Router configuration


Usage

Whenever you use the redistribute or the default-information router configuration command to
edistribute routes into an OSPF routing domain, the switch automatically becomes an utonomous
System Boundary Router (ASBR). However, an ASBR does not, by default, generate a default route
into the OSPF routing domain. The software still must have a default route for itself before t generates
one, except when you have specified the always keyword.


Examples

The following example specifies a metric of 100 for the default route redistributed into the OSPF
routing domain and an external metric type of Type 1:
router ospf 109
redistribute rip metric 100
