Please log in for more thread options Private Line configuration. At one point in time, there were netware servers running at each end of this Private Line. These netware servers have since been removed and now it's only an IP network. At one end of the Private line is a Cisco 2600 Router. At the other, a Cisco 1700. In the configuration of each router, there is are the following lines.... router eigrp 1 redistribute rip network 10.0.0.0 ! router rip redistribute eigrp 1 network 10.0.0.0 ! I guess my question is, do I still need to use RIP as a routing protocol, and just use EIGRP? We're not using IPX as a protocol anywhere on our network, so is it really needed. Thanks in advance... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Not sure we can answer this without more information. Does EIGRP run on both ends of this as well as RIP? If so, yes you could probably get rid of RIP and not lose connectivity. However, where else does RIP go? Is there any chance that something downstream only has RIP and therefore taking out this router will prevent one of those RIP networks from getting to these devices? If so, perhaps redistribution is your answer instead of keeping RIP and EIGRP everywhere. The bottom line is that you need to understand everywhere that RIP and EIGRP are, especially places where only one may exist without the other. Additionally you need to understand what networks/nodes/ environments talk to other networks/nodes/environments, and ensure that disabling a routing protocol is not going to impact one of those flows. At its most basic terms, all-inclusive and fully-meshed EIGRP should be fine if this is a LAN network, but again, more information is needed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Both routers on the ends of the Private Line T1 are running RIP. The confiuratation looks like this... Remote Office ----> Cisco 1750 ------> Private Line T1 ------> Cisco
Internet
2611 ----> Corporate Office -> Pix 515 ---- > Cisco 2620 ----> The Cisco 2620 that is connected to the Internet does not have RIP specified in it's config. The office that is connected to the Cisco 1750 communicates with the Corporate Office as well as gets to the internet via the Private Line T1. Not sure if this is enough information or is more needed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options 1. Are there only 2 routers involved ?
2. post output of "show ip route rip" and "show ip proto" from both routers | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

However, I don't recommend static configs at all except for DMZs and other requirements, therefore RIP or EIGRP all the way through should be fine. Your basic requirements are that the 1700 advertise its networks to the HQ, and the HQ advertises a default route. Other than that, I don't see any gotchas. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
