Configure R3 to advertise a default to its RIP neighbors. Do not advertise the default route towards R5.

R3 Configuration:

!

 version 2
 passive-interface Loopback0
 network 10.0.0.0
 network 172.16.0.0

Pic. 3 - RIP Update towards R2.

 Pic. 4 - RIP Update towards R5.

Notice!
RIP update towards R5 does NOT contain a default route.

Notice!
Unlike OSPF or EIGRP, R3 does NOT install a discard route (0.0.0.0/0 via Null0).
