Configuring BGP to Import Routes from Other Routing Protocols

BGP itself cannot discover routes. Instead, it imports routes discovered by other protocols such as an IGP or the static routing protocol into the BGP routing table. These imported routes are then transmitted within an AS or between ASs.

Configuring BGP to Import Routes: BGP obtains the routing information inside the AS by importing the IGP routing information and advertises the route to the peer. Before the IGP routing information is imported, related configuration should be made to allow BGP to import default routes.

Configuring BGP to Import Default Routes: By configuring BGP to import default routes, you can import the IGP default routes that already exist in the local routing table.
