OSPF - default-information originate

Yesterday, we encountered a problem that RR router cannot route to BR gateway which is the internet access. Then we tried alot of thing and eventually came up with the solution by Mr Wagio that we must key in the following command in order to work !


The OSPF router does not, by default, generate a default route into the
OSPF domain. In order for OSPF to generate a default route, you must use
the default-information originate command to enable default route
origination on this router. A default route will only be generated if a
default route has been manually configured.

After entering the command, when u do a show ip route in RR. It will show the following result:

It actually route the information from BR 200.10.10.65 to let BR know that RR network want to go out and use the internet access. In order to do so, they have to route through BR.
