Information
Although the passive interface will neither send nor receive routing updates, the network on
that interface will still be included in OSPF updates sent via 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.
