360 | Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4)
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
When you apply a default route to a BGP peer or peer group using the neighbor default-originate
command, changes to the configured 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 configuration 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 configured with these settings.
In order that settings corresponding to the neighbor default-originate command take effect, you
must execute the clear ip bgp command immediately after you execute the neighbor
default-originate
command.
