Routing

Hello! First post and hoping to get some help which im sure im totally missing something

Cisco guy here trying to get the hang of Juniper and so far ive been enjoying working with the device but I seem to be missing something with my BGP configuration!

 I have a SRX 240b (JUNOS Software Release [11.2R4.3]) that I have the basic BGP configuration, the connection to the neighbor has been established and I can see routes from the other side however I for some reason cant advertise my internal routes even after going over the Juniper documentation!

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos/topics/topic-map/bgp-peering.html

[edit protocols bgp group external-peers]

type external;
authentication-key SOMETHING SECRET HERE
export ebgp-export;
peer-as xxx;
local-as xxxxx;
neighbor x.x.x.x;

policy-statement ebgp-export {
from protocol [ direct local static ];
then accept;

As you can see I created the policy and created an export (which from my reading should advertise my local network routes into BGP correct?)

I have two networks on the router 10.2.6.x assigned to GE-0/0/0 and 192.168.1.1/24 to vlan0.  The wan interface is GE-2/0/0

root> show route

inet.0: 6 destinations, 6 routes (6 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

10.x.x.0/23 *[BGP/170] 00:19:14, localpref 100
AS path: xxxx I
> to x.x.x.x via ge-2/0/0.0
10.2.6.0/30 *[Direct/0] 03:03:21
> via ge-0/0/0.0
10.2.6.1/32 *[Local/0] 03:15:44
Local via ge-0/0/0.0
x.x.x.x*[Direct/0] 1d 01:02:35

> via ge-2/0/0.0
x.x.xx *[Local/0] 1d 01:02:38

Local via ge-2/0/0.0
192.168.1.1/32 *[Local/0] 03:25:12
Reject

Im pretty sure im missing something really stupid and im sure im gonna laugh when we get it working!  

Thank you so much!!

just saw that you are trying to export a local route in BGP. By default local routes are not advertised, pls try configuring below config as well:

# show routing-options interface-routes
family inet {
export {
point-to-point;
lan;
}
}<<<

Ill give it a try tomorrow!

Didnt seem to correct my , what else should I be looking at?

show us the routing options output
also >show route advertising-protocol bgp <neighbor_ip>
delete the export policy and recreate it this time using three separate terms for each of the protocols with the action of accept and one final term that rejects everything else. Don't know if there is a bug. After committing the configuration

x.x.x.x = IP address of the interface you are trying to advertise

>show route x.x.x.x extensive

>show route protocol bgp

>show bgp neighbors

Mind sharing why you want to advertise internal and interface routes to ebgp?

Maybe I wasnt patient or I wasnt paying attention but your command worked.  I kind of let it go for a day or two and came back and it was up.  I chalked it up to me not paying attention.  thanks for your help!

Anytime:) kudos are nice too:)
