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:
