Hi

I would guess that BGP in your previous configuration worked, BGP session
was up (that could be verified by 'show protocols all') and would forward
routes, but on both routers there was no protocol that would generate any
route (like Static protocol for static routes or Direct protocol for
direct routes), so 'show route' shows empty tables and BGP has nothing to
forward. BGP itself does not define new routes and Kernel protocol
requires 'learn' option to import routes from kernel, otherwise it only
works in the other direction (BIRD -> kernel).

In your new configuration you have Direct protocol responsible for 10.0.2.0/24
route and Kernel protocol with 'learn' responsible for the other two routes.
