Information
By default, no interfaces are passive. Routing updates are sent to all interfaces on which the routing
protocol is enabled.
If you disable the sending of routing updates on an interface, the particular address prefix continues to be
advertised to other interfaces, and updates from other routers on that interface continue to be received
and processed.
