Router (RIP) Configuration Command Set

passive-interface <interface>

Use the passive-interface command to disable the transmission of routing updates on the specified

interface. All routing updates received on that interface will still be processed (and advertised to other

interfaces), but no updates will be transmitted to the network connected to the specified interface. Multiple

passive-interface commands may be used to create a customized list of interfaces. Use the no form of this

command to enable the transmission of routing updates on an interface.

Syntax Description

<interface> Specifies the interface that will not transmit routing updates.

Valid interfaces include: Ethernet (eth 0/1), virtual Frame Relay sub-interfaces

(fr 1.16), virtual PPP interfaces (ppp 1), loopback interfaces, and VLAN interfaces.

Default Values

By default, RIP is not enabled.
