[nsp] Why can't I default Originate?

[Vandy Hamidi]

Here was the problem.  I'm stupid.  I wasn't looking in the right place for what I was advertising.

I ran:
router#sh ip bgp nei 10.1.2.75 adv
BGP table version is 43, local router ID is 10.1.80.44
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,
              r RIB-failure, S Stale
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

Originating default network 0.0.0.0

   Network          Next Hop            Metric LocPrf Weight Path
*> 1.2.3.0/24   1.2.3.3              0         32768 i
router#

I was looking for the network, but not the line that stated:
Originating default network 0.0.0.0

Still doesn't answer why CISCO says you apply default orig to the peer, not the peer group (which we've proven is backwards).  It shouldn't be this way since you may want to use the peer group as a template for multiple customers, but they may not all want 0/0 sent to them.
ALSO I didn't need to have 0/0 in my local routing table nor did adding the BGP command "Synchronization."
According to CISCO (which is actually accurate), it will originate default UNCONDITIONALLY, which it does.
I'm still concerned about the peer vs. the peer group issue.

neighbor Confed-Peer-Group default-originate


Will orinate an all 0's route to all your confederation peer group members.
