Type "show ip route" and look for the network in question. You will see
the network in the routing table will be listed as a connected route with
the address 2.0.0.0/8. The network statement must match exactly what is
in the routing table. The routing table does NOT contain 2.2.2.2/8.

I tell my students if you see the route in the routing table, but it is
not in the BGP table, check the network statement.
