Network 0.0.0.0 needed?

Feb 13, 2007 1 Replies

When redistributing a default route learned via EIGRP into BGP it seems the route will not propagate into the BGP table unless you have network 0.0.0.0 configured under BGP. Does anyone know why this is necessary? A safety measure perhaps?



Thanks!


You can also do this with a "neighbor x.x.x.x default-originate" command under "router bgp"

BGP was designed for the Internet, where there is no default-route.
