Hi,
Please run

clear ip eigrp 10 neig

and check again. If you still get the same result, please share the output of

show ip ospf database external

.

HTH,
Meheretab

Hi @shehab320 

The OSPF external route will not be installed because of the following reason. If you look at the

show ip ospf database external 2.2.2.2

on R3 you will see that the forwarding address is chosen as 10.1.12.2. 

R3 sees 10.1.12.0/24 is as an EIGRP internal route with AD90. OSPF external route requires that if the forwarding address on the type 5 LSA is non-zero then it should have a route to it learned via OSPF intra or inter area. You will argue that OSPF does have a route to it, but because EIGRP AD 90 is preferred over OSPF 110, OSPF route is not preferred for the forwarding address. So the parent type 5 route is not installed in the routing table. 

Please rate this post and mark as resolved if you find this helpful.

Hi shehab320 

> EIGRP AD 90 is preferred over OSPF 110

I think the received route is EIGRP External so AD is 170, Comparing them OSPF 110 preferd over EIGRP AD 170 right?
Do you think the routing AD preference is same specification between legacy IOS and IOS-XE?

(For example
Cat35/37/ISR-G2 and ISR1K/4K/Cat9K etc..)
