Yesterday I was invited for a job interview from a company for a junior network administrator position. I am currently looking for my first job as I am a fresh graduate.
The guy who interviewed me asked me this question, this is how it went:
Guy: Can you use EIGRP with different vendor routers?
Me: No.
Guy: Why?
Me: Because it is Cisco proprietary. If the company has multi vendor routers, OSPF should be used.
Guy: What if I tell you we used EIGRP with Cisco and Huawei devices.
Me: (very confused) That's.... very interesting. How?
Guy: *smug*
The technical interview went well until that... and i guess i flonked on that technical question. But... really? Is it possible? I think he is just messing with me. Like trying to see how I would react. But I answered in all honesty like how any geek would be so excited to learn something new or somethign he thought was impossible. I didn't want to say "oh yeah.. you can use it" even if I honestly believe that EIGRP can only be used with Cisco devices.
Enlighten me.
