asked on 

Is it possible switching from eigrp tp ospf without rebooting the router?

hello Expert,

I have three cisco router in production that is running eigrp.
All the routers are in production and due to the fact they provide communication to the atms  i cannot afford  any downtime.
I am preparing to  move from eigrp to ospf ( as per guidance from experts re: earlier post )
Is it possible to achieve the above switch without rebooting the router?

Regards

Absolutely. The only time you need to reboot a Cisco router is with an IOS upgrade.

hello Irmoore,

Sorry, I ask the incorrect question .
What i meant is will the router drop connection during the change over and if so how can i minimize downtime while effecting the change over.

Once again sorry for misleading you.

Routers

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
