I was misunderstanding the original question, as well, but someone else explained it to me. I think the original poster wasn't stating that OSPF won't originate a default route learned via OSPF, he was wanting to know *how* to force OSPF to not originate a default route that it learned from an OSPF neighbor. Or, phrased the other way, they wanted to make sure any default route originated from that router was an external route.
I think we were both confused by the wording. John >>> "Captian Lance" 1/23/03 1:49:03 PM >>> I have never hear of the second condition. And to complicate things more consider the command ip ospf default-information originate always This command will force the OSPF router to advertise a default router if one is present or not.
