Confused as to how to redistribute a default route into BGP? I know, in most IGPs this is accomplished with "default-information originate", however BGP is a little different. This video will show you the 3 different ways to advertise a default route into BGP on a Cisco router, and the difference between each of them.
I also wanted to make note of the fact that when I mentioned that "default-information originate" must be added in addition to "redistribute static", this also applies to situations where the default route is carried by another routing protocol, such as ospf. In a case such as this, you would need to "redistribute ospf", and also issue the "default-information originate" command. The default route used in the video was a static, so this was definitely an oversight.
** Also, I apologize about the blue font in the terminal window. I did not realize that it would be so difficult to see **
