The Problem

A route comes from RIP and moves through the routing domain like this:

RIP -> EIGRP -> OSPF -> EIGRP
120 -> 170   -> 110  -> 170

The Solution

Set EIGRP external to be a lower AD than OSPF.

router eigrp EIGRP_100
 !
 address-family ipv4 unicast autonomous-system 100
  !
  topology base
   distance eigrp 90 100
  exit-af-topology
 exit-address-family
