Hi can anyone point me to a migration guide for the above, I think it's covered in the BSCN course. I have about 10 or so routers running ospf and they redistribute into a larger eigrp network, the main OSPF routers are two RSM cards on 5500 switches, so I can create VLANs or sub interfaces if that would help? I've been told to remove ospf all together and I'm looking for a seemless transition with little down time. Can't find it on the Cisco site.
Cheers

Personally, I'd move to OSPF fully instead of EIGRP...

You could bring up both routing protocols simultaneously.. That would probably give you the least amount of down time for what you're wanting to accomplish..

Then once you have the EIGRP up and talking fully, disable the redistribution and disable OSPF.

If most of your network is EIGRP I would move to it, otherwise stick with OSPF. OSPF is standardized and will work on non-cisco routers.

EIGRP is really fast convergence time though, so if your a pure Cisco IOS shop, then go forward with EIGRP.
 
I would love to keep OSPF and change the rest of the network but unfortunately it's not my call (I'm the little fish) I like the idea of running them both together then switching of OSPF, I'll start a plan tomorrow.
Thanks
Bob
