Doug, I've worked with OSPF in a multi-vendor environment and had no problems. All the required parameters in the Hello packets were met and neigh/adj's were established with no configuration changes needed. You need Area ID, Stub Flag, Auth and Hello/Dead Intervals to match. If you have problems getting neighbors to form, look for mismatches in the Hello packets. I can't answer your other questions from first hand experience. But I've heard other people comment that EIGRP tends to let you be 'sloppier' in your overall network design. OSPF works best when you can take advantage of multiple areas, summarization and use of stub networks. OSPF seems to require a little more thought and planning where as EIGRP seems to provide flexibility in a network that may not have been designed/or grown in the most optimal ways. -chris Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=41629&t=41613 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
