Hi group,

please let me know if the way I am understanding the question is right or
wrong,

the task is stating that since R5 is the only connection between the OSPF and
RIP domains R4 and SW2 do not need specific reachability information about the
rest of the network.

configure R5 to inject a default route into RIP to provide rechability to the
OSPF domain.

R4 should load balance traffic destined to the OSPF domain between both R5 and
SW2

 I understood that R5 should not propagate any rip routes other than a default
route but in the solution only "default-information originate" command was
there! which means that also the other rip routes will get into R4 and SW2

here is my solution :

Rack1R5#show run | b router rip
router rip
 version 2
 network 139.1.0.0
 default-information originate
 distribute-list prefix DEFAULT out FastEthernet0/1
 distribute-list prefix DEFAULT out Serial0/1
 no auto-summary

ip prefix-list DEFAULT seq 5 permit 0.0.0.0/0

Rack1R4#show ip route rip
     139.1.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 4 subnets, 2 masks
R 139.1.58.0/24 [120/1] via 139.1.48.8, 00:00:02, Ethernet1
R* 0.0.0.0/0 [120/2] via 139.1.45.5, 00:00:07, Serial1
                      [120/2] via 139.1.48.8, 00:00:02, Ethernet1
