Hello BBD,

this might answer your question, I found this on CCO:

Q. What does r RIB-Failure mean in the show ip bgp command output below?

R1> show ip bgp
BGP table version is 5, local router ID is 200.200.200.1
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i -
internal,
              r RIB-failure
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

   Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
r> 6.6.6.0/24 10.10.13.3 0 130 0 30 i
*> 7.7.7.0/24 10.10.13.3 0 125 0 30 i
When BGP tries to install bestpath prefix into Routing Information Base
(RIB), i.e., the IP Routing table, RIB might reject the BGP route due to any
of the following reasons:

Route with better administrative distance already present in IGP, for
example, if a static route already exists in IP Routing table.

Memory failure.

The number of routes in VPN routing/forwarding (VRF) exceeds the route-limit
configured under the VRF instance.

In such cases, the prefixes that are rejected for the above reasons are
identified by r RIB Failure in the show ip bgp command output and are not
advertised to the peers. This feature was first made available in Cisco IOS
Software release 12.2(08.05)T.

Regards,

Georg
