   Hi Mike,
   if i configure the following on fortigate1:
   config router bgp
   set as 65000
   set router-id 10.2.2.254
   config neighbor
   edit “10.2.2.253”
   set next-hop-self enable
   set remote-as 65000
   set send-community6 disable
   next

   config redistribute “static”
   set status enable
   end

   fortigate2 should get the default route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 from fortigate1 as it is static ?

   how can i redistribute the default route(fortigate1) to fortigate2 ?

   thanks
   regards

      There is a really good KB article that explains how to do this. You can find it here

      If you want to redistribute static routes you would enable the following

      config router bgp
      config redistribute static
      set status enable
      end
      end

      An example of the config would be like this

      config router prefix-list
      edit “only_dflt”
      config rule
      edit 1
      set prefix 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
      unset ge
      unset le
      next
      end
      next
      end

      config router route-map
      edit “only_default_route”
      config rule
      edit 1
      set match-ip-address “only_dflt”
      next
      end
      next
      end

      config router bgp
      set as 2
      config neighbor
      edit 10.142.0.110
      set remote-as 1
      set route-map-in “only_default_route”
      next
      end

      set router-id 10.142.0.205
      end

      Let me know if this helped answer your question!

      Thanks!

   edit “10.104.55.1”
   set ebgp-enforce-multihop enable
   set soft-reconfiguration enable
   set remote-as 64699
   set send-community6 disable
   next
   edit “10.104.55.2”

      So you see both neighbors but only one is active?
