Enabling Passive Interfaces
A passive interface is one that does not send or receive routing information.
Enabling passive interface suppresses routing updates on an interface. Although the passive interface does not send or receive routing
updates, the network on that interface is still included in OSPF updates sent via other interfaces.
To suppress the interface’s participation on an OSPF interface, use the following command. This command stops the router from sending
updates on that interface.
• Specify whether all or some of the interfaces are passive.
CONFIG-ROUTEROSPF- id mode
passive-interface {default | interface}
The default is enabled passive interfaces on ALL interfaces in the OSPF process.
Entering the physical interface type, slot, and number enables passive interface on only the identified interface.
• For a 1-GigabitEthernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
• For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094 (for example, passive-interface vlan 2222 ).
The keyword default sets all interfaces on this OSPF process as passive.
To remove the passive interface from select interfaces, use the no passive-interface interface command while passive
interface default is configured.
To enable both receiving and sending routing updates, use the no passive-interface interface command.
When you configure a passive interface, the show ip ospf process-id interface command adds the words passive
interface to indicate that the hello packets are not transmitted on that interface (shown in bold).

Enabling Fast-Convergence
The fast-convergence CLI sets the minimum origination and arrival LSA parameters to zero (0), allowing rapid route calculation.
When you disable fast-convergence, origination and arrival LSA parameters are set to 5 seconds and 1 second, respectively.
Setting the convergence parameter (from 1 to 4) indicates the actual convergence level. Each convergence setting adjusts the LSA
parameters to zero, but the fast-convergence parameter setting allows for even finer tuning of the convergence speed. The higher
the number, the faster the convergence.
