It sounds like the 172.50.50.0/24, although connected to an EIGRP router,
is not participating in EIGRP and thus being redistributed as an external
connected network. Is 172.50.0.0 in your EIGRP network statement and does
it show in "show ip eigrp interfaces"? If you don't want EIGRP running on
that interface you can always make it passive. Does including it in the
EIGRP process but making it passive violate your practice lab requirement?
Another possibility is to change the administrative distance of all
external routes along the lines of "(config-router)#distance eigrp 90 90",
but this isn't recommended as it could break other things if there are
other external networks you want to have at a larger distance. If this
is the only external network you're redistributing there, it makes no
difference.
Or, under the EIGRP routing process you could put
"distance 90 172.50.50.0 0.0.0.255".
