Hi, If you look at the lab walk through on page 817, you will notice that the statement "default-information originate always route-map condition"
The default route will only be propagated if the condition listed in the route-map statement is met. If it is not met, the default route will not be propagated. Things would be alot simpler if you just took out the "always" statement, but then again, the CCIE lab requirement may require it.
