What is the diffence between import-route and network when BGP imports default routes?

Hi Spout,

BGP can import routes by using the import-route command or network command:

·         In import mode, IGP routes, including RIP, OSPF, and IS-IS routes, are imported into BGP routing tables based on protocol type. To ensure the validity of imported IGP routes, BGP can also import static routes and direct routes in import mode.

·         In network mode, BGP imports the routes in the IP routing table one by one to BGP routing tables. The network mode is more accurate than the import mode.

If the default-route imported command has not been used, BGP cannot import default routes when you run the import-route command to import routes from other protocols.

So you can use the network command or the default-route imported + import-route command.
