Control routing updates
Use the following commands in ROUTER ISIS mode to control the source of IS-IS route information.
Distribute Routes
Another method of controlling routing information is to filter the information through a prefix list. Prefix 
lists are applied to incoming or outgoing routes and routes must meet the conditions of the prefix lists or 
FTOS does not install the route in the routing table. The prefix lists are globally applied on all interfaces 
running IS-IS. 
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
passive-interface interface
ROUTER ISIS Disable a specific interface from sending or receiving 
IS-IS routing information.
Enter the type of interface and slot/port information:
• For a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword 
GigabitEthernet followed by the slot/port 
information. 
• For the Loopback interface on the RPM, enter the 
keyword loopback followed by a number from 0 to 
16383.
• For a port channel, enter the keyword port-channel 
followed by a number from 1 to 255 for TeraScale 
and ExaScale, 1 to 32 for EtherScale.
• For a SONET interface, enter the keyword sonet 
followed by slot/port information. 
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the 
keyword TenGigabitEthernet followed by the slot/
port information. 
• For a VLAN, enter the keyword vlan followed by a 
number from 1 to 4094.
E-Series ExaScale platforms support 4094 
VLANs with FTOS version 8.2.1.0 and later. 
Earlier ExaScale supports 2094 VLANS.
