Re: BGP neighborship problem

"To avoid the accidental creation of loops through oscillating routes,
the multihop session will not be established if the only route to the
multihop peer's address is the default route (0.0.0.0). "

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} ebgp-multihop

Allow BGP sessions, even when the neighbor is not on a directly
connected segment. The multihop session is not established if the only
route to the multi-hop peer's address is the default route (0.0.0.0).
