Usage Information If you apply a route map to a BGP peer or neighbor with the neighbor default-originate command
congured, the software does not apply the set lters in the route map to that BGP peer or neighbor.
When you congure a route-map for a BGP peer or peer group with the neighbor default-
originate
command, the command checks for the existence of the route in BGP RIB.
Route-map conguration on a BGP peer or peer group works only when the LOC-RIB contains at least one
route.
When you apply a default route to a BGP peer or peer group using the neighbor default-originate
command, changes to the congured default route-map are applied to the BGP peer or peer group only
after a delay of 15 seconds. As a result, you must wait for a period of 15 seconds before manually resetting
BGP using the clear ip bgp command.
In case of eBGP, the neighbor default-originate command does not support extended-
community as a non-transtive route-map attribute.
You cannot set this conguration for a peer that is associated with a peer group. Similarly, you cannot
associate a peer to a peer group if that peer is already congured with these settings.
In order that settings corresponding to the neighbor default-originate command take eect, you
must execute the clear ip bgp command immediately after you execute the neighbor default-
originate
command.
