Carl,
I think you're right but don't rely on that. Test it out for yourself.
The issue here is just at what hop count will a router discard routes. That
other business regarding redist eigrp is just a distraction.
So, here's what you do.
Get 2 routers.
Create a couple of loopbacks on 1 of them.
Advertise them to the other rip router.
Then use the offset command to set the metric of the advertised routes to
14, then 15 then 16.
Then on the router learning the routes, check the route table. On the routes
advertised with a metric of 14, you should see the routes with a metric of
15. Make sure you're seeing this to verify that routing is working.
Now, that you've verified routing is working, go back and change the metric
to 15. Do you see the routes on the router?
To see what's really going on, turn on debug ip rip on both routers and log
the output to the buffer.
HTH, Tim

Subject: RIP Question
I have a question about using the redistribute command to filter routes in
RIP.
R1 -----> R2
On R1 I am redistributing routes between Eigrp/RIP. Between R1 and R2 I
am running RIPv2. I want to keep R2 which I dont have any control off from
sending my routes to another router. The practice lab I am using says
under the RIP process
router rip
redistribute Eigrp 1 metric 15
shouldn't this be
redistribute Eigrp 1 metric 14
From what I understand the metric on RIP routes are incremented as the
leave the interface. If I use the former the route on R2 will be 16 and
unreachable.
