passive-interface
Disable (suppress) sending routing updates on an interface.
Syntax
passive—interface {default | interface}
To enable sending routing updates on an interface, use the no passive-interface interface
command.
To return all OSPF interfaces (current and future) to active, use the no passive-interface
default command.
Parameters
Default Enter the keyword default to make all OSPF interfaces (current and future)
passive.
interface
Enter the following keywords and slot/port or number information:
● For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet 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, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094.

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 prefix 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 specified router interface. The
specified interface address appears as a stub network in the OSPFv3 for IPv6 domain.
redistribute
Redistribute information from another routing protocol into OSPFv3 throughout the OSPF process.
Syntax
redistribute {bgp as number}{connected | static}[metric metric-value |
metric-type type-value] [route-map map-name] [tag tag-value]
