I have two routers R1 --- R2, both running OSPF, both in full adjacency.
If I configure BGP in both routers, and configure redistribute static in R1, then R2 should see those static routers, correct? Why am I not seeing those routes?
R1 config:
router bgp 64674
synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
redistribute static
no auto-summary
R2 config:
router bgp 64674
synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
no auto-summary
R1 has this static route:
Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
*> 10.197.0.0/16 172.31.6.10 0 32768 ?
But R2 is not seeing it. Why?

Hi,
Nice going!
You just need to add the neighour statement :)
router bgp 64674
neighbour XXXX remote-as 64674
...

Sarah,
For BGP routers to connect and start exchanging routing information, you need to configure neighbor statements under BGP.
R1:
router bgp 64674
neighbor x.x.x.x remote-as 64674
R2:
router bgp 64674
neighbor y.y.y.y remote-as 64674
where x.x.x.x is R2 interface address and y.y.y.y is R1 interface address.
It is also possible to establishing using the loopback interface, in which case you would have:
R1:
neighbor x.x.x.x remote-as 64674
neighbor x.x.x.x update-source looback 0
where x.x.x is the loopback interface address on R2.
Hope this helps,

and so you know bgp differ from ospf and eigrp and ... bgp do not use multicast 224.x.x.x it uses tcp port 179 :)

Man, you guys are quick. Thanks!
It seems unlike OSPF, I have to specify the interface IP as the neighbor IP? If I specify the loopback address of the neighbor router, it doesn't know how to get to it?

I got it working now with both iface IP and loopback address. Thanks a lot!

Great. Sorry for the double posting. I must have hit one too many key.
