Command History
Version 9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000.
Usage
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 using 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.
Save passive-interface interface into the running configuration.
passive-interface default
All present and future OSPF interface are marked as
passive
.
Any adjacency are explicitly terminated from all OSPF interfaces.
All previous passive-interface interface commands are removed from the
running configuration.
All previous no passive-interface interface commands are removed
from the running configuration.
no passive-interface interface
Remove the interface from the passive list.
The ABR status for the router is updated.
