BGP connection and default route

Hi, ALL

When RIB has only default route and hasn't any NH prefixes, BGP doesn't
establish connections.

What nature of this restriction in IOS?

If you're running iBGP or eBGP with ebgp-multihop, the neighbors need to have
a route (static, connected, or IGP) between them. It's important that the BGP
session is established across the intended interface. IOS enforces this by
not allowing locally-generated BGP messages to follow a default route (or
something to that effect).
