Some of the options are:</P><P></P><P>1. Configure a GRE Tunnel between the routers and encrypt the Tunnel Source and Destination on the ASA.</P><P></P><P><A class="jive-link-custom" href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_configuration_example09186a00800a43f6.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_configuration_example09186a00800a43f6.shtml</A></P><P></P><P>2. Run OSPF on ASA and across the VPN Tunnel.</P><P></P><P>3. Redistribue RIP into OSPF </P><P></P><P>I think at this point of time, you are better of configuring a GRE Tunnel between the two routers and encrypting the GRE Tunnel on ASA.</P><P></P><P>Let me know if it helps.</P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Arul</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 24 Oct 2006 05:06:39 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/site-to-site-routing-protocol-best-practice/m-p/630119#M1054700 ajagadee 2006-10-24T05:06:39Z
