Re: BGP neighborship problem

If you do "show ip route <neigh-ip-address>", you would find "subnet not in table"

For the neighbor relationship to form, you need a route with a length greater than 0.

Subject: BGP neighborship problem

Hi fellas,

I have a simple topology R1----------------------------R2 R1 is
forming neighbourship with R2's loopback and viceversa. I have a default
route configured to reach loopback.
Why BGP cant form a neighbourship with a peer with a default route? Why it
needs a unicast exact route to form a peer?
What is the logic behind this ? Can anyone explain me the logic?
