Hi, Hope someone can help, I am having a strange issue and can't seem to isolate the problem.
We have "redistribute default" set globally on our bgp/ibgp speakers in the ospfd.conf. The bsd boxes are all 6.6. These routers are connected via ibgp to some other routers and have external bgp sessions taking at present a couple of basic network announcements from their egbp peers. e.g. 2.2.2.0/24 ( we have faked our transit provider) Connected to these routers we have a pair of firewalls, which previously received a default route from the bgp/ibgp speakers. I am trying to understand exactly what the redistribute default in the ospfd.conf does. I assume it is saying if i have a static default route or another default route from an upstream then tell other routers about it? Or is it saying tell others to use me as a default route. I can't seem to find anything specific in the docs to clarify this, and would like to understand it clearly if pos. In our case our previous configuration on 5.8 and this configuration has a static route on the bgp speakers of 0.0.0.0/24 -> 127.0.0.1. If I do a ospfctl sh rib or ospfctl sh data on the firewalls i just don't see any default route being provided by the bgp speakers. Hope this makes sense. I am sure I am missing something obvious... Effectively I want the bgp speakers to announce themselves as the default route for their neighbor firewalls over ospf. Thanks
