User Guidelines
The only routers that actually have Internet connectivity should advertise a
default route. All other routers in the network should learn the default route
from the routers that have connections to the Internet. The edge router
should also have a static default route configured with an upstream ISP router
as the destination. The always keyword will cause the router to advertise a
default route to its neighbors, even if no valid default route is known.
Example
The following example always advertises default routes.
console(config-router)#default-information originate always metric 100
metric-type 1
