The answer could have been many things. But running EIGRP on a Bay
router was not one of them. You could run RIP between the routers and
redistribute routes. You could also run OSPF with redistribution. I really
was just looking for some ingenuity and looking for experience. He had
told me that he was very experienced with Bay routers so I was asking
the question in search of an expert opinion from someone who had spent
alot of time with Bay stuff. His answer lead me to realize he was just
trying to snow me and couldn't possibly be a CCIE. Anyone who is even
slightly experienced with Cisco gear knows that EIGRP is Cisco Proprietary.
To be honest I hired someone who didn't know the answer to the question.
But, he was willing to state that he didn't know. In this field, the most
dangerous people are the ones who aren't willing to say "I don't know".
