Suppose there is a router at Germany and it supports all other dynamic routing protocols except EIGRP. There is also a router at Kolkata,India and it supports only EIGRP. How to connect those two?

yes you can use redistribute routing protocol.

Redistribute connect between different two routing protocol.

Between the two routers no dynamic protocols will happen.

Static routes for all German networks on the Indian router. Static routes for all Indian networks on the German router. Redistribute statics on Both German and Indian Routers.

Other methods may be to introduce an intermediate router that talks everything or look for a common routing protocol between the two such as BGP which is fairly ubiquitous and redistribute from there..... Depends on budget and time frames.

Hi,

if the router supports EIGRP it is most likely a Cisco router. If so, it will also support other routing protocols like OSPF.

They might not be configured, but are available in IOS.

As such you can start a second routing process f.e. OSPF to dynamically exchange routing information. If required, OSPF to EIGRP redistribution and vice cersa can be configured.

If anything else fails, static routing could be used.

If you provide more information, we could work out sample configs.

Hope this helps! Please use the rating system.
