• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port/subport information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the
slot/port information.
•
For a port channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a
number. The range is from 1 to 128.
• For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094.

Command History
Version Description
9.2(1.0) Introduced on the Z9500.
9.1.(0.0) Introduced support for OSPFv3 on the S4810 and Z9000.

7.8.1.0 Added support for the C-Series.
7.4.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series.
Usage 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 prex continues to be
advertised to other interfaces, and updates from other routers on that interface continue to be received and
processed.
OSPFv3 for IPv6 routing information is not sent or received through the specied router interface. The
specied interface address appears as a stub network in the OSPFv3 for IPv6 domain.
On conguring suppression using the passive-interface command, the state of the OSPF neighbor does not
change to INIT; instead, the state of the OSPF neighbor changes to DOWN after the dead-timer expires.
