 I just tried it and it didn't work so.............

 I thought I remembered doing this for someone, but I think it was eBGP
through the firewall.

If it is eigrp, can't a person simply unicast eigrp by adding the passive
interface and the bneighbor command and punch a hole through the firewall
for communication between routers? I would think this would be fine as long
as there were static routes on the routers before and after the firewall
with the statics pointing to the neighbor with firewall as next hop.

You can tunnel the EIGRP traffic through the firewall, however it not
recommended and BGP is the best choice. In your case you would need to use a
distribute-list for the tunnel, so that only the networks that you want via
the tunnel are learned via the tunnel. Here would be an example, some of the
configs have been left out but it should be enough to give you an idea:

Router 1

interface Tunnel0
 ip address 172.16.23.3 255.255.255.0
 ip authentication mode eigrp 9 md5
 ip authentication key-chain eigrp 9 EIGRP-KEY
 ip summary-address eigrp 9 10.1.X.X 255.X.X.X 5 - You can annouce a
summary if needed
 tunnel source 192.168.1.3 - Ethernet Interface
connected to PIX
 tunnel destination 192.168.2.2 - Ethernet Interface of
R2 connected to PIX

router eigrp 9
 passive-interface default
 no passive-interface E0
 network 10.0.0.0
 distribute-list 4 out Tunnel0
 no auto-summary
 eigrp log-neighbor-changes

access-list 4 deny "Whatever routes you want to deny"
access-list 4 permit "Whatever routes you want to permit"

Router 2

interface Tunnel0
 ip address 172.16.23.2 255.255.255.0
 ip authentication mode eigrp 9 md5
 ip authentication key-chain eigrp 9 EIGRP-KEY
 ip summary-address eigrp 9 10.2.X.X 255.X.X.X 5 - You can annouce a
summary if needed
 tunnel source 192.168.2.2 - Ethernet Interface
conencted to PIX
 tunnel destination 192.168.2.3 - Ethernet Interface of
R1 connected to
                                                                     PIX,
staically mapped at PIX
 
router eigrp 9
 passive-interface default
 no passive-interface E0
 network 10.0.0.0
 distribute-list 4 out Tunnel0
 no auto-summary
 eigrp log-neighbor-changes

access-list 4 deny "Whatever routes you want to deny"
access-list 4 permit "Whatever routes you want to permit"

PIX

ip address outside 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
ip address inside 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
global (outside) 1 192.168.2.20-192.168.2.254 netmask 255.255.255.0
nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0
static (inside,outside) 192.168.2.3 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0
access-list 1 permit gre host 192.166.2.2 host 192.168.2.3
access-group 1 in interface outside

If you're passing traffic through a firewall, then the assumption is that
you have two seperate automous enities. BGP should probably be used in a
case like that. You can configure BGP with private AS numbers if you are not
connecting the AS to the internet or if you are homing to only one ISP.

Sorry, I forgot to mention no BGP. I prefer to use routing protocols like
EIGRP, OSPF and/or RIP.

Thanks

Subject: OT: Passing Routing information across Firewall

Hi All,

This may be a bit OT.

does anybody know how to pass routing formation across the firewall ?
tunnel would be an option to pass routing updates ONLY. The "normal" IP
traffic should still passes through the firewall. Assuming the firewall
does not support any routing protocol. Here is a little diagram hope it
might clarify the question.

10.1.1.0/24--R1--192.168.1.0/24--Firewall--192.168.2.0/24--R2--10.2.2.0/24

R2 needs to learn 10.1.1.0/24 from R1
R1 needs to learn 10.2.2.0/24 from R2
tunnel between R1 & R2 is an option. but only to pass route update/hello
only.
all IP traffic must route through the firewall.

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Charles
