EIGRP Summary Routes have an admin distance of 5 and have to be configured
manually on a per interface basis
Normal EIGRP Routes have an admin distance of 90
OSPF is admin distance is 110

My questions when doing this doing this would be.

1. How complicated is the network?
2. What better, rolling EIGRP in from the edges to the core, or out from the
core to the edges?

The beauty of moving from OSPF TO EIGRP is, in theory at least, the EIGRP
Routes will be prefered over the OSPF Routes when the administrative
distance is the deciding factor.
