external route into the autonomous system (AS). (Options: Not Always,
Always; Default: Not Always)
Always – The router will advertise itself as a default external route
n
for the local AS, even if a default external route does not actually
exist. (To define a default route, see
page 501.)
NotAlways – It can only advertise a default external route into the
n
AS if it has been configured to import external routes through RIP
or static routes, and such a route is known. (See

External Metric Type

default route. Type 1 route advertisements add the internal cost to the
external route metric. Type 2 routes do not add the internal cost
metric. When comparing Type 2 routes, the internal cost is only used as
a tie-breaker if several Type 2 routes have the same cost.
(Default: Type 2)
Default External Metric

(Range: 0-16777215; Default: 20)
The metric for the default external route is used to calculate the path
cost for traffic passed from other routers within the AS out through the
ASBR.
Redistribution of routing information from other protocols is controlled
