[c-nsp] BGP default-originate route

[Scott Ingram]

once I have in place my default-originate statement on my CE#1 can I then add the same default-originate to CE#2?  I would like to do this for failover if the primary path changes.

The default route is not announced to BGP neighbors, even if it's in the IP
routing table and BGP table. This was true in old IOS releases, 12.4 and
12.2SRC announce BGP default route like any other network. To announce a
default route to a BGP neighbor, you can configure neighbor
default-originate.

Scott,
I'm sure the SP guys will jump in at this point but that should be a fairly
straight forward setup, where the standby site's PE is configured to crank
up the metric for the default route from that location, such as padding ASN
or manipulating MED, or any other BGP setting.

Cheers,
