Just because the next hop is pingable it does not mean it's a valid next
hop. Next hop addresses that are reachable only via a default route
aren't valid. Also next hop addresses that are reachable only via
another BGP route are also not valid.

Subject: BGP route not synchronized -- WEIRED!

I have a problem with a router not advertising internal bgp routes to
its
peers (exhibit1)

The route (188.1.2.0/24) is synchronized (exhibit 2) and the next hop is
reacheable (exhibit 3) but the router still does not accept the route as
synchronized (exhibit 4)

The router is running IOS c2500-js-l.121-5.T.bin. I am puzzled. Any
ideas ?

R1#show ip bgp
BGP table version is 1, local router ID is 1.1.1.1
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i -
internal
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

-------------------- exhibit 1
   Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
