Yet another problem with v7 OSPF! I can’t find a distribute-default setting anywhere for creating a default OSPF route. I need this for a network I want to build, but since it’s not available in v7 yet, I’m out of luck. Will it ever be added again?
No, but it is currently possible to redistribute the default route. I think you just misunderstand how it is done. You have to check what protocol the default route is being received over (static, DHCP, BGP, or whatever) and redistribute that to OSPF.
They did away with the default route as part of the instance configuration.
From the help docs:
All route distribution control is now done purely with routing filter select, no more redistribution knobs in the instance. This gives greater flexibility on what routes from which protocols you want to redistribute.

From the docs:
If the routing filter chain is not specified OSPF will try to advertise every active route it can find in the routing table
That means it should distribute a static default route by default. However, that’s not what happened as it never ended distributing that static route anywhere, and there were no filter rules at all. Is this just a bug of v7?
Do you have redistribute=static set for the OSPF instance?
There’s no option for redistribute=static or even redistribution at all on v7beta6. Do you have a screenshot of the setting?
It is at the CLI only, not though the GUI:
[admin@Michael-RB4011] /routing/ospf/instance> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - inactive

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I am experiencing the same issue as the OP. I am running 7.1 Beta 5.
On the CLI, the redisribute value is not available under routing/ospf/instance
Any ideas?
Have you tried 7.1beta6?
