ASA Compatible with EIGRP Version 3

June 18th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Many of you may be aware that EIGRP support for the ASA was added in 8.0(2). In fact there is a very nice, easy to follow tech note detailing how to enable EIGRP on your ASA listed here: EIGRP Tech Note. However, if you upgrade from 8.0(2) to 8.0(3) due to a packet format change, Version 8.0(3) and later are not compatible with Version 8.0(2). Therefore, if you upgrade an adaptive security appliance to Version 8.0(3) or later, and it is peering with another adaptive security appliance running Version 8.0(2), then the peer must also be upgraded, or EIGRP will not operate correctly.
