bgp advertising rules

hi guys

my config as shown below did not advertise anything up to when I added a
network statement net 132.1.17.0 mask 255.255.255.0 under bgp.Why is
that?Is there any spesific rule for advertising aggreagate route ?On the
other hand for recap can someone write it down what are general rules for
advertising in bgp?

Many thanks
