*Hi Vignesh,
*
*When BGP tries to install the
bestpath<http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094431.shtml>prefix
into Routing Information Base (RIB),  RIB might reject the BGP route
due to any of these 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 these reasons are
identified by r RIB Failure in the show ip bgp command output and are not
advertised to the peers.
HTH,
Regards,
Dara*
