Understanding IP routing table with EIGRP and RIP

redgunner

Hello,



My diagram above shows what I am working with and when I ask router0 to show my routing table it produces the following;

172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
D 172.16.0.0/30 [90/4352] via 192.168.0.2, 00:11:50, GigabitEthernet0/0
D 172.16.1.0/24 [90/6912] via 192.168.0.2, 00:06:19, GigabitEthernet0/0
192.168.0.0/24 is variably subnetted, 9 subnets, 2 masks
C 192.168.0.0/30 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
L 192.168.0.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
D 192.168.0.4/30 [90/3072] via 192.168.0.2, 00:20:45, GigabitEthernet0/0
D 192.168.0.8/30 [90/3328] via 192.168.0.2, 00:20:45, GigabitEthernet0/0
D 192.168.0.12/30 [90/3584] via 192.168.0.2, 00:20:45, GigabitEthernet0/0
D 192.168.0.16/30 [90/3840] via 192.168.0.2, 00:20:45, GigabitEthernet0/0
D 192.168.0.20/30 [90/4096] via 192.168.0.2, 00:11:51, GigabitEthernet0/0
C 192.168.0.24/30 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1
L 192.168.0.26/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1

As you can see above it does not display anything related to RIP, however if I delete the crossover cable between router6 and router5 - I then see the below information.


172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
R 172.16.0.0/30 [120/1] via 192.168.0.25, 00:00:04, GigabitEthernet0/1
R 172.16.1.0/24 [120/2] via 192.168.0.25, 00:00:04, GigabitEthernet0/1
192.168.0.0/24 is variably subnetted, 8 subnets, 2 masks
C 192.168.0.0/30 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
L 192.168.0.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
D 192.168.0.4/30 [90/3072] via 192.168.0.2, 00:33:01, GigabitEthernet0/0
D 192.168.0.8/30 [90/3328] via 192.168.0.2, 00:33:01, GigabitEthernet0/0
D 192.168.0.12/30 [90/3584] via 192.168.0.2, 00:33:01, GigabitEthernet0/0
D 192.168.0.16/30 [90/3840] via 192.168.0.2, 00:33:01, GigabitEthernet0/0
C 192.168.0.24/30 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1
L 192.168.0.26/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1

So I can now see RIP - I just want to understand when there are 2 routing protocols in place like I have done, why does it not show that I am using RIP (is it because its decided EIGRP has the lower administrative distance, therefore it has decided to not learn my alternative path using the higher administrative distance?) why does it not show both for me?

Thanks.

It is because EIGRP has the lower AD as you mentioned.

Also with all of your links up - try these commands on Router0:
show ip rip database
show ip protocols
