  • The BGP router-id must be the same as the OSPF router-id for redistribution with OSPF to work.
  • It's better to use the loopback address for the iBGP neighbor.
  • It needs to advertise something that is already in the routing table, including the network mask, unless you use the no sync command.
  • 22.22.22.22 is the loopback0 of the other router.
  • The neighbor address must be pingable.
  • The loopback address 22.22.22.22 must be pingable through the routing table, and not through the default route.
