Re: RIP not installing routes into RIP database

Hi Kelvin,

RIP database works in different way than EIGRP one. I mean, RIP
database is the RIB mirror (for RIP originated routes obviously)
except for Summary routes and connected netwoks. So, RIP Database
don't save backup routes, so what you can see at RIP Database is
already check it againts RIB. At EIGRP database you can see some
routes than you couldn't at rib. For instance, Feasible succesor ones.

Before to save the route at RIP Database, the router apply the
following checklist:

--Inbound update filters are processed (global and per-interface
distribute list).
--IP prefix matching any summary address configured with the ip
summary-address rip network mask on the incoming interface is ignored.
--If the IP prefix already exists in the RIP database, the metric in
the incoming route update is compared with the metric in RIP database.
Only the best RIP routes are retained in the RIP database (the RIP
database has no backup information like the EIGRP topology table).
--If the RIP route cannot be inserted in the IP routing table (another
route with a better administrative distance is already present in the
IP routing table), its not stored in the RIP database.

You can find and excelent explanation at this site:
