Lets say you have set some dynamic routing (RIP,OSPF,BGP,IS-IS..) and you want to redistribute routes into them.

redistribute connected

set policy-options policy-statement Connected
    term connected {
        from protocol direct;
        then accept;
}

redistribute static

set policy-options policy-statement Static
    term static {
        from protocol static;
        then accept;
}

redistribute local

set policy-options policy-statement Local
    term local {
        from protocol local;
        then accept;
}

reject anything else

term else {
    then reject
}

And all the policy will look like:

policy-statement distribute-routes
    term connected {
        from protocol direct;
        then accept;
    }
    term static {
        from protocol static;
        then accept;
    }
    term local {
        from protocol local;
        then accept;
    }
    term else {
        then reject
    }

It looks easy I guess..but what if you want to redistribute ospf routes?

redistribute ospf routes

If you are using OSPF for IGP and BGP as a EGP and you want to export ospf routes to BGP peers then you have to create a policy for that.
Smth like :

policy-statement ospf-routes {
    term 1 {
        from {
            protocol ospf;
            area 0.0.0.0;
        }
        then accept;
    }
    term 2 {
        then reject;
    }
}

send default route to bgp peer

Lets assume you want to send to send to a BGP peer 0.0.0.0/0 (default route).

First you need to have a route for 0.0.0.0/0 before you can export it to a peer. I guess this is the difference between the Juniper and Cisco configs, Cisco provides you a shortcut with the ‘default-originate’ keyword which does it all in one step. If you don’t have a route for 0.0.0.0/0 defined somewhere that is at least part of the problem.

First we generate the default route (if you dont have one yet) :

routing-options {
    generate {
        route 0.0.0.0/0 discard;
    }
}

then we create a policy for 0/0 :

policy-options {
    policy-statement default-originate {
        from {
            route-filter 0.0.0.0/0 exact;
        }
        then accept;
    }
}

A simple BGP neighbour will have smth like:

neighbor aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd {
    export default-originate;
}
