Looking for EIGRP support in a platform other than Cisco. Since it was opened up last year. We have a situation where we need to integrate into a network running EIGRP and would like to avoid cisco if at all possible. Any thoughts? Nick Olsen Network Operations (855) FLSPEED x106

Why not use isis or ospf? Both are fully vendor neutral, and they both support mpls networks properly. EIGRP has some interesting features, but the vendor tie-in cost is way too high to even consider using it. IGP migration is quite do-able, even for large networks, and all cisco devices which speak EIGRP will also speak at least ospf, if not isis. Nick

Use a standard protocol and redistribute between the two. OSPF is likely the easiest way to go for this. I like EIGRP, but I don't think I like it enough to try a non-Cisco implementation of it. At least with OSPF you know that most of the bugs have been worked out (hopefully). On Wed, Jan 8, 2014 at 12:30 PM, Nick Olsen <nick@flhsi.com> wrote:
