To disable the advertisement of a default route, use the no form of this command. default-information originate no default-information originate Syntax Description None Default None Command Mode Router configuration Usage Guideline Address family configuration The default-information originate command is used to configure a BGP routing process to advertise a default route (network 0.0.0.0). A redistribution statement must also be configured to complete this configuration or the default route will not be advertised. Example The configuration of the default-information originate command in BGP is similar to the configuration of the network (BGP) command. The default-information originate command, however, requires explicit redistribution of the route 0.0.0.0. The network command requires only that the route 0.0.0.0 is present in the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing table. For this reason, the network command is preferred. This example shows how to advertise the default route regardless whether a default route exists in the configuration or not.
