BGP and learning default route
This is my first time configuring BGP on a Quantum Spark 1600.
The device automatically adds the learned default route from the AS-Peer with No routemap or route filter applied.
The Gaia Advanced Routing R81 Admin Guide says -
By default, BGP does not accept any routes. You must configure explicit policies for BGP to accept routes.
Is the behavior on the Quantum Spark intentionally different?
Thanks to all willing to share your experience.

There are some differences between SMB and regular appliances, some of which are intentional, some of which are dictated by the resource constraints on these appliances.
I assume this difference is intentional.

Maybe this gives an answer, will go through it.

Wonder if this could be it (bottom of page 21)
accept-routes Specifies an inbound BGP policy route if one is not already configured. Enter all to specify accepting routes and installing them with an invalid preference. Depending on the local inbound route policy, these routes are then made active or inactive. Enter none to delete routes learned from a peer. This option saves memory overhead when many routes are rejected because no inbound policy exists.
