EX EIGRP Default route doesnt get redistributed to BGP

IOS Router ------>> ASR9K-IOSXR ------->(( MPLS backbone

...................EIGRP .................................MPBGP.............................

IOS Router send the Default route which was redistributed from a Static route towards the ASR9K. 

ASR9K installs the default in its routing table as EX* 

but ASR9K is not redistributing this EX* (Default-route) into BGP. 

Keep in mind, that i created a dummy route on the IOS, and ASR9K receives it and redistributes it just fine.

[rais · Accepted solution]

are you using default originate under bgp?

You can also try network 0.0.0.0

HTH.

Rais, 

Default-information originate did work. 

i was missing the point that BGP is a little more restrict about advertising/redistributing default from another protocol to it. 

thanks so much for the reply.
