BGP RIB FAILURE

[patcbr600]

Hello,

Could any one tell me why this route entry with a rib failure (17) or what is the meaning

of rib failure.

ROUTER8#show ip bgp 192.168.0.0/20

The RIB-failure(17) indicates that the BGP route, although valid, couldn't be installed in the RIB since the same route is already present with a lower administrative distance.

Hope this helps,
