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.
