Explain the Default RD field in the CLI output of show vrf

[Waterbird]

I'm using IOX-XE 17 and when I run the command 

'''

show vrf

```

One of the fields displayed "Default RD".   I know that RD stands for route distinguisher, and the values in this filed correspond to the actual RD assigned to the VRF.  What I'm not clear on is what the term "Default" means in this field name.  Please explain the meaning of the term "Default" in the context of this show command output.

Hello @Waterbird 

The "Default RD" field represents the primary RD assigned to a VRF instance. The term "Default" here signifies that this is the main RD automatically associated with the VRF when it is created and is the one used for most routing operations unless explicitly overridden in specific configurations or scenarios. Essentially, the "Default RD" is the standard RD that identifies routes within the VRF unless additional or different RDs are configured for more complex setups.

All the VRFs on the router do have explicitly assigned RDs.  Their RDs are showing in the output under the Default RD column. So I do not see how the values are Defaults?
