Hi William, As someone else pointed out, what you need is a static route, not a generated route. You want to point your default gateway to a host on the 1.1.1/24 network, so set your route to 0/0 to that host. The static route will be removed from the routing table if the interface goes down, so no need to worry about it pointing into a black hole.
Generate routes by default take the next-hop of the primary contributing route. However, your direct route of 1.1.1/24 doesn't have a next-hop address since it's a broadcast interface. That's why the route is hidden.

Code snippets: Show routing-options: generate { route 0.0.0.0/0 { policy generate_default_route; tag 1000; } } Show policy-statement policy-statement generate_default_route { term match_routes { from { protocol direct; route-filter 1.1.1.0/24 exact; } then accept; } term reject_all_other_candidate_direct_routes { then reject; } } Then to distribute it into OSPF once it is in the routing table: policy-statement inject_default_into_ospf { term match_default { from { route-filter 0.0.0.0/0 exact; } then accept; } then reject; } Set Protocol ospf export inject_default_into_ospf; So if the interface is up then the route 1.1.1.0/24 is in the routing table as a direct route. Problem is that even when it is up I don't see my default in the routing table: run show route hidden inet.0: 271174 destinations, 271234 routes (271174 active, 0 holddown, 1 hidden) + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both 0.0.0.0/0 [Aggregate] 1w4d 07:44:01, tag 1000 Reject It is there but hidden, why and how do I get it into the active routing table? _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
