Reference Guide

If you do not configure the default-metric command, in addition to the
redistribute command, or there is no route map to set the metric, the metric
for redistributed static and connected is “0”.
To redistribute the default route (0.0.0.0/0), configure the neighbor default-
originate command.
As BGP does not query next-hop information corresponding to locally originated
routes, a local route with an unreachable next-hop is chosen as the best route.
When a combination of locally originated and peer originated routes occurs, both
these routes will exist in the RTM. However, only the best route is kept active in the
RTM and the remaining route is rendered in-active.
It is possible to keep only one locally originated route in the BGP database.
Network command has preference over the re-distributed routes. When the locally
originated route is no longer present in the database the other route is
automatically installed.
