Hello,
even though it appears in the BGP table, it's not going to be a candidate to the RIB table. I have seen in previous IOS versions that, when this command is applied (neighbor x.y.z.x default-originate) the result is that the peer is advertising a default route dynamically regardless if it has a default route in the RIB or not. Also, it does not install a default in the BGP table and it bypasses the BGP filters (Adj-Rib-Out). I have tested in IOS 15.0M and I have got the same results that you have posted. I have tested the behavior of this and it appears to me just a "cosmetic" thing in the router:
R1 is advertising a default route to R2
R1#show ip bgp
BGP table version is 2, local router ID is 10.1.12.1
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,
r RIB-failure, S Stale
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete
Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 i
However, it does not appear in the RIB:
R1#show ip route 0.0.0.0
% Network not in table
I have installed another default route as a matter of fact that the previous one is not taken into account:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Null0
!
Router bgp 1
network 0.0.0.0 route-map TEST
The route-map TEST sets the weight to 0 and Local Preference to 0 to become worse than the other:
route-map TEST permit 10
set local-preference 0
set weight 0
But, as you can see, it is the best as the other one is not eligible:
R1#sh ip bgp 0.0.0.0
BGP routing table entry for 0.0.0.0/0, version 10
Paths: (2 available, best #1, table default)
