Do you know if your Nokia Appliances are participating in any of the routing
functions??
If they are, that might be the reason for your current config-
unless there is something recently new with IPSO 3.3 (the OS for the Nokia
Appliance), the IPSO OS can only support OSPF or IGRP, and not EIGRP.
EIGRP combines the features of OSPF and IGRP together, and it's a
proprietary protocol of Cisco's IOS.
IGRP uses metrics or "numeric costs" for "best path" routing amont several
other factors, whereas OSPF is just a link-state protocol, hence the
initials Open Shortest Path First.
That's just a rough off-the-collar comparison, and I would go into more
detail, but I have to run to a meeting.
HTHs!
