Hi,

>From R2's point of view, you get the route from 2
sources, one from the eigrp redistribution (AD 170),
you also get it from R3's RIP (AD 120). That's why you
get that result. To fix the problem, you can try the
following in R2's rip routing process:

distance 175 192.168.234.3 0.0.0.0 5
access-list 5 permit 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

which will only check the default route and raise its
AD to 175 so R2 will select the route from eigrp. R3
is kind of mirroring R2, you have to do apply the same
thing there too.

You may want to check Doyle I's redistribution
chapter, it has more detail explainations.
