Passive interfaces
A passive interface does not send or receive routing information. Conguring an interface as a passive interface suppresses both receiving
and sending routing updates.
Although the passive interface does not send or receive routing updates, the network on that interface is included in OSPF updates sent
through other interfaces.
1 Enter an interface type in INTERFACE mode.
interface ethernet node/slot/port[:subport]
2 Congure the interface as a passive interface in INTERFACE mode.

You can disable a passive interface using the no ip ospf passive command.
Fast convergence
Fast convergence sets the minimum origination and arrival LSA parameters to zero (0), allowing rapid route calculation. A higher
convergence level can result in occasional loss of OSPF adjacency.
Convergence level 1 meets most convergence requirements. The higher the number, the faster the convergence, and the more frequent
the route calculations and updates. This impacts CPU utilization and may impact adjacency stability in larger topologies.
NOTE
: Select the higher convergence levels only after checking with Dell Technical Support.
When you disable fast-convergence, origination and arrival LSA parameters are set to 0 msec and 1000 msec, 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 convergence-level parameter changes the convergence speed. The higher the number, the faster the convergence.
• Enable OSPFv2 fast-convergence and enter the convergence level in ROUTER-OSPF mode from 1 to 4.
