He want to move from OSPF to Eigrp and still get the same support from an opensource software. That was clearly the answer : You can expect to have bad or no support using EIGRPChoosing the path to use a protocol that is clearly not supported by all vendor, will almost 100% of the time lead you to a lack of compatibility from the community. And Yes IS-IS is the way go :) Raphael On 02 Nov 2015, at 01:15, Aaron Finney aaron.finney@openx.com wrote: I would argue that IS-IS also separates the men from the boys, is an open standard, and also happens to be protocol-neutral. I have my own opinions about IGPs, of course, but I agree with Alex on this one...nobody asked for my opinion on using EIGRP, so I'll save it until they do. :)

I’ll just say one thing about routing protocols. BGP. Yes, it *is* as good running as an IGP as it is as an EGP. And separates the men from the boys, so to speak.

Also Cisco released basic EIGRP functionality for other vendors to implement in a RFC.http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/ios-nx-os-software/enhanced... the real question is not “why?” but “is this supported in Observium?”.. and the real answer is “no”.

Ospf can be used with all vendor, eigrp .. not compatible unless you have a cisco network and other clone equipment.Ospf is widely supported and even with software like Observium.

EIGRP isn't showing in the routing section when I look at devices. _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium%C2%A0This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only.
