Configure default route origination
When the device is an OSPF Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR), you can configure it to
automatically generate a default external route into an OSPF routing domain. This feature is called
"default route origination" or "default information origination".
By default, the device does not advertise the default route into the OSPF domain. If you want the device
to advertise the OSPF default route, you must explicitly enable default route origination.
When you enable OSPF default route origination, the device advertises a type 5 default route that is
flooded throughout the AS (except stub areas and NSSAs). In addition, internal NSSA ASBRs advertise
their default routes as translatable type 7 default routes.
The device advertises the default route into OSPF even if OSPF route redistribution is not enabled, and
even if the default route is learned through an IBGP neighbor.
NOTE
The device never advertises the OSPF default route, regardless of other configuration parameters,
unless you explicitly enable default route origination using the following method.
If the device is an ASBR, you can use the "always" option when you enable the default route origination.
The always option causes the ASBR to create and advertise a default route if it does not already have
one configured.
