hi,

 

seems a silly question, but why can't I see EIGRP in "Network" menu of FG200E? The only options are "RIP", "OSPF" and "BGP".

Thanks

    EIGRP is a proprietary protocol. You can find it in Cisco routers only. Fortinet, as all other vendors, only support standard protocols.

    thanks. So, when I connect my FG to Cisco router I should use for example RIP between them?

    RIP should work, but I would recommend RIPv2 or OSPF.

    EIGRP was published as an open standard (see RFC 7868) since May 2016. It is not proprietary. So please stop making excuses, and implement this excellent protocol on FortiGate firewalls. :) https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7868

     

    Edit: See page 78 of the RFC - open source implementations already exist for Linux and OpenBSD.
