The only way run IGP through firewall is tunnel, or run routing protocol on the firewall itself.
The reasons:
- The packets containing routing info has TTL 1. The firewall should check it and drop the packet
- The neighboring routers shold share the same subnet, but different subnet has to be defined on firewall interfaces
Firewall usally does not use proxy ARP, so seting a common subnet on the two routers and the halves of it on firewall does not
help (usually).
