How you configure both eigrp and ospf to transfer a packet eigrp to ospf and ospf to eigrp?

we would need to redistribute ospf routes into eigrp and vice versa. redistribution will have to be done on an ASBR(autonomus system boundry router) eg: we have an ospf process wid process id 10 running and eigrp with ASN 20 running in our network redistribution on ASBR would be conf t router ospf 10 redistribute eigrp 20 subnets metric 1 and in eigrp conf t router eigrp 20 redistribute ospf metric 1 1 1 1 1 we see i used 5 ones in eigrp process to redistribute opsf into eigrp. thes 1's are metrics for eigrp namely load bandwidth delay reliability

Could be because your routers do not support OSPF.


What is OSPF adjacencies?

OSPF is a link-state routing protocol that helps Routers exchange IP routes. OSPF Adjacencies is the established "neighborship" between two OSPF routers in order to make the exchange of routes. In this case, Adjacency means the same as "peering", that the OSPF speakers (routers) are able to "talk" to each other.
