iBGP peer not seeing default route

I have 2 MT routers running 4.10. Each has a separate external BGP connection. The two routers are also meshed together via iBGP. Both routers are receiving a default route from their eBGP peers as well as other specific routes. However, during my testing if I shut down one of the eBGP peers, that router sees the external routes from its iBGP peer but not the default route.

Is there something I need to do to allow the iBGP peers to send each other the default route it has learned from it’s upstream?

Thanks,
Eric

Set the following config on your iBGP peers.

/routing bgp peer
set peer1 default-originate=if-installed

Thanks that did the trick!
