Is it possible to have OSPF and EIGRP co-exist ?

Since PAN is not supporting EIGRP , If we have an EIGRP enviornmnet , do we need to migrate over to OSPF ? would be possible for both to co-exist ?

Hi,

Depend of your PAN deployement. If you want your PAN be part of your routing architecture ... migration, no choice.

Else, you can choose to configure your PAN in Vwire then it will be transparent.

Make your choice 🙂

Or you can have both OSPF and EIGRP redistribute between them and have OSPF around the Palo. EIGRP is Cisco proprietary, so it won't ever be implemented in the PA firewalls.

@DPoppleton EIGRP was initially a Cisco proprietary routing protocol, but Cisco opened it up back in 2013 and there's now a RFC via IETF from May 2016.

https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-announce/current/msg15496.html

I've asked multiple SEs for a FR on getting EIGRP into PAN-OS. Basically it's a lost cause for some reason. Pretty annoying actually. If PAN supported EIGRP their use would be far more prolific in my company

While Cisco did release some of EIGRP for others to use, this is pretty much just a marketing ploy to say it is an "open standard" and no network company is ever likely to implement it.

this pretty much sums up the situation as described at the time of "release".
