Re: question on EIGRP redistribution

I'm having a problem getting EIGRP to redistribute routes into RIP and
wondering if anyone else has ever seen this or could give me some help
figuring it out.

Here's the deal, I have a router (R3) on MP frame relay interface
getting OSPF routes redistributed into EIGRP.

On this router, the EIGRP topology table lists the redistributed OSPF
routes as 0.0.0.0 (originating from self) and they are external routes
(AD170) where FS (4xxxxxxx/0).

I go to R3 EIGRP neighbors and verify that the external OSPF
redistributed routes are being sent to them. That checks out as
expected.

Now I need to redistribute EIGRP into RIP on R3. I do a redistribution
as follows:

Attempt1:

router rip
Version 2
Redistribute eigrp xxx metric 5

Result 1:

Go to other RIP router and the routes are not there... debug ip rip on
both routers with clear ip route * on R3 shows other EIGRP routes being
redistributed, but not the external EIGRP routes.
------
Attempt2:

Router rip
Version 2
Redistribute eigrp xxx route-map eigrptorip

Route-map eigrptorip permit 10
Set metric 5

Result 2:

Go to other RIP router and the routes are not there... debug ip rip on
both routers with clear ip route * on R3 shows other EIGRP routes being
redistributed, but not the external EIGRP routes.
-------------------
Attempt 3:

Router rip
Version 2
Redistribute eigrp xxx rout-map eigrptorip

Route-map eigrptorip permit 10
Set metric 5

Route-map eigrptorip permit 20
Match ip route-type external
Set metric 10

Result:
Go to other RIP router and the routes are not there... debug ip rip on
both routers with clear ip route * on R3 shows other EIGRP routes being
redistributed, but not the external EIGRP routes.

--------

Using attempt 3 setup, I challenge the router by going to an eigrp
neighbor of R3, setting a Lo0 interface with ip 100.100.100.1/24 and
under this routers eigrp process I redistribute connected. Now, I go to
R3 and do clear IP route * and see internal EIGRP routes redistributed
with metric 5 as expected but this time.... THE NEW EXTERNAL ROUTE GETS
REDISTRIBUTED WITH A METRIC 10!!!!

What I am seeing is on a single an EIGRP router that GETS redistribution
from one IGP and then attempts to redistribute its EIGRP topology table
to another IGP doesn't forward the external routes.

Can someone confirm what I'm seeing? Or am I experiencing some artifact
inherent to the lab.....
