In my opinion there is never a need to carry default route in dynamic routing protocols, it's always inferior solution to static. In this particular case, two options 1) BGP a) Advertise some candidate route from BGP (like your PA aggregate, which you originate from stable backbone boxes) b) Recursive static default route in branch routers pointing to the PA aggregate as next-hop 2) IGP a) have loopback42 in every LSR/P box with same IP address, which you add to IGP b) Recursive static default route in branch routers pointing to the loop42 address as next-hop In both cases isolated edge won't blackhole the the branch by advertising default it doesn't have as well as you'll always choose closest working exit. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
