Suzan,
No.. all of these things are happening by design. First off.. its not
a problem. Unless you have a question in a workbook that wasn't stated.
You want your IGP (EIGRP, RIP, OSPF) to be chosen over IBGP.
Remember.. IBGP is 200 AD, all of the others are lower, then EBGP is 20.
Now if you need IBGP to be chosen over your IGP then you need to
change the admin distance. The backdoor command will make your IGP
more desirable.. this is usually vs. EBGP routes.
The backdoor command allows your IGP to be your primary route.. but
in case of IGP failure your BGP is a "backdoor" for the network.
Either way, if an IGP is being chosen over BGP you will see the rib-
failure in the RIB. This is by design because the IGP route is
currently in use.
Is there a workbook task or question that this is in relation to?
Regards,
Nate
