[c-nsp] Default-Information Originate supplimental question

[Michael Robson]

Guys, thanks for the clarification; but now further questions leading  
on from this. My understanding is that by default (without overriding)  
if you are redistributing routes from BGP into OSPF on the router and  
some routes  have been learned via iBGP, then these iBGP-learned  
routes will not be advertised since it is an IGP->IGP exchange (which  
might cause loops). Following from this, since as I understand it,   
"the default-information originate" command is a special case variant  
of the redistribute command, then the default route, by default,  will  
not be injected into OSPF if it had been learned via iBGP - correct?  
If this is the case, then if you have the situation on a router where  
there are 2 default routes being learned, one via iBGP and one via  
eBGP and the _iBGP_ route is preferred over the eBGP (e.g. it has a  
lower MED value), then would the lesser preferred route be injected  
since the other cannot be by default, or would neither be injected  
because the preferred default route has been learned via iBGP?   
Finally (phew), can anyone give a possible explanation as to why none  
of our eBGP-learned routes have an origin type of e (i.e. they are all  
of type i)?

Thanks,

Michael
