It's not a version thing, it's what Dennis said... Need to change it to Type 1 "if installed", not "always". This implies that you're receiving a default route from your BGP providers at the edges. OSPF doesn't know anything about what's happening with BGP. So you ask your peers to send you a default route via BGP (even if they're sending you a full table) and you configure OSPF to only originate a default route when one exists in the table of THAT router (which it would, via your BGP peers). When BGP goes down, your default will go away from that router and it will stop advertising one to the rest of the network forcing your other routers to all go the other way.

What version(s) of ROS are you using? We have a couple of the routers that are back-rev, and we're wondering if this is a version issue. It's kind of ironic that the only route that does not propagate is the default route. That seems counter to what you would expect.

Exactly, only the default route is affected.  I see the same thing.  All other routes are fine except for the default route.

It seems to be specific to the OSPF routing table and the default route. If it's not a default route, but a loopback interface, or other ordinary interface, the route will propagate from one end to the other almost immediately. But if it's the default route, it will drop from ip/routes, but hang out as a zombie in OSPF.

What types of routers?  I've seen this happen on Mikrotik.  Any OSPF change anywhere in the network will fix it.  I have dedicated routers hanging at points on the network running a script that pings an Internet Address, and downs it's OSPF network if it's unreachable.  To address this specific senario.

Maybe not quite a similar problem, but I had forgotten to advertise BGP one time on one of the routers when I thought things would magically fail over.

Subject: [AFMUG] OSPF not propagating default route...

 

Our backbone is 9 hops from one end to the other. We have 2 ASes and 2 exits at either end. "Most" of the time the traffic is 50/50 right at the midpoint (4 hops one way, and 4 hops the other). However, when we kill BGP at one end or the other, the default routes do not switch over. The two BGP routers are set to "distribute-default" "always as type 1". Clearly, this is not working the way we expect it to. Any clues about what we are missing here?
