Injecting default EIGRP route into BGP

[shawkatalvi]

Hi Guys,

Can anyone point me to the right direction as to how I can redistribute EIGRP default route (0.0.0.0/0 172.20.88.242) into BGP? I have prefix lists which only allows selected routes. Redistribute EIGRP already in place in the BGP. Do I need to allow the default route in the prefix lists as well?

Thanks.

How you have redistruibted EIGRP into BGP. If you have not used any route-map, then default, it should redistribute all EIGRP routes. If you have used Route-Map & want to use only default route & Other filter., then you have to do two things--

1. IP prefix-list DEFAULT 0.0.0.0/0

2. Route-Map Default permit 10

match ip address prefix DEFAULT

3. Route-Map Default permit 20 ( For other Filter)

3. Router BGP AS

Redistribute EIGRP AS route-map DEFAULT.

Thanks Rupesh.

I'm not using route-map, rather using prefix-lists only as follows. So what would u suggest?

truncated config:

router bgp 64808

bgp log-neighbor-changes

neighbor 172.24.1.2 remote-as 64517

!

address-family ipv4

redistribute eigrp 109 metric 1

neighbor 172.24.1.2 activate

neighbor 172.24.1.2 soft-reconfiguration inbound

neighbor 172.24.1.2 prefix-list routes_in in

neighbor 172.24.1.2 prefix-list routes_out out

no auto-summary

no synchronization

network 172.20.0.0

network 172.24.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0

network 172.24.23.0 mask 255.255.255.0

I found this interesting:

The default-information originate command is used to configure a BGP routing process to advertise a default route (network 0.0.0.0). A redistribution statement must also be configured to complete this configuration or the default route will not be advertised.

The configuration of the default-information originate command in BGP is similar to the configuration of the network (BGP) command. The default-information originate command, however, requires explicit redistribution of the route 0.0.0.0. The network command requires only that the route 0.0.0.0 is present in the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing table. For this reason, the network command is preferred.
