BGP neighbor to the default router

[thanujan]

I have a Cisco 887VA connected to a service provider network,

If I configure a BGP neighbor with the default gateway 172.31.188.1 my router will not even try to start the TCP session.

But if I configure a BGP neighbor as 172.31.188.2 (fake neighbor) it will atleast go the BGP active state.

My router is 172.31.188.10, I can ping both 172.31.188.1 and .188.2

I have a default route, ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.31.188.1 250
