Enhanced Interior Gateway Acquisition Agreement (EIGRP) 206
The Security Appliance OS Software Version 8.0 debuts the abutment of the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing
Protocol (EIGRP). EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary acquisition agreement and is accessible on Cisco accessories only. EIGRP on
Security Appliance is accurate in distinct approach only; it is not accurate in multicontext mode.
Note
Firewall OS supports alone one EIGRP acquisition action on the Security Appliance.
The Security Appliance can be configured as an EIGRP butt router, which helps enhance the achievement by
decreasing anamnesis and processing requirements on the Security Appliance. A firewall configured as an EIGRP
stub does not crave advancement a complete EIGRP acquisition table, because it assiduously all nonlocal cartage to a
distribution router. The administration router sends a absence avenue to the butt router/firewall. In some occasions,
only specific routes are advertised from the butt router to the administration router. When the Security Appliance
is configured as a butt router, it sends a associate advice packet to all adjoining routers to address its status
as a butt router. Neighbors accepting this packet will not concern the butt for routes. The butt depends on the
distribution router to accelerate the able updates to all peers.
