RE: Passing Routing information across Firewall

Charles,

If you are talking about PIX firewall, it does not have support for routing
protocols.
But, as far as I know, you have two options to allow routing protocols
through PIX:

1. configure a static route or default route on the outside interface and
define a conduit
for a particular routing protocol, for example:

route outside ip_address netmask gateway_ip
conduit permit ospf host sourec_addr host dest_addr

Also, a static NAT pointer, if NAT is involved:
static (inside,outside) outside_ip_address inside_ip_address netmask mask

2. use IPSec tunneling between routing end-points through PIX, you need to
config below:
sysopt connection permit-ipsec

And the regular IPSec, ISAKMP configurations you'd need to make IPSec work.

HTH.

firewall does not support any routing protocol ( only static routes ).
I would like to use either EIGRP, OSPF or even RIP would be fine too.

Which routing protocol are you using? Which firewall are you using? PIX
or
Router with Firewall featureset?
