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 will 
continue 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 neither sent nor received through the specified router 
interface. The specified interface address appears as a stub network in the OSPFv3 for IPv6 
domain.
