Usage
Information
Although the passive interface does not send or receive routing updates, the network on that interface is
still included in OSPF updates sent using other interfaces.
The default keyword sets all interfaces as passive. You can then configure individual interfaces, where
adjacencies are desired, using the no passive-interface interface command. The no form of
this command is inserted into the configuration for individual interfaces when the no passive-
interface interface command is issued while passive-interface default is configured.
This command behavior has changed as follows:
passive-interface interface
The previous no passive-interface interface is removed from the running configuration.
The ABR status for the router is updated.
Save passive-interface interface into the running configuration.
passive-interface default
All present and future OSPF interfaces are marked as passive.
Any adjacency is explicitly terminated from all OSPF interfaces.
All previous passive-interface interface commands are removed from the running
configuration.
All previous no passive-interface interface commands are removed from the running
configuration.
no passive-interface interface
Remove the interface from the passive list.
The ABR status for the router is updated.
If passive-interface default is specified, then save no passive-interface
interface into the running configuration.
No passive-interface default
Clear everything and revert to the default behavior.
All previously marked passive interfaces are removed.
May update ABR status.
