Hi, I've been trying to find out the implications of using EIGRP to distribute the loopbacks for a BGP/MPLS network instead of the usual OSPF or ISIS. But either it isn't a very well covered topic or my Google-foo is seriously bad.
I've lab'ed it up in a very simple environment and for typical Layer 3 BGP/MPLS VPN applications everything seems to work fine as expected, LDP continues distributing labels, and VPN packets are label switched across the network. However, I assume the caveats are around using features that use OSPF/ISIS for transporting additional information or for signalling, e.g. perhaps taffic engineering info. Given there is no information on this on Google I guess it isn't supported and the recommendation is simply "don't do it". But I'm curious, so has anyone done this in a production environment for any reason, or has anything enlightening to say on the matter? Cheers Kris PS: before anyone asks "Why on earth would you want to do that!?" I don't particularly, but I'd like to know about it for arguments sake. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
