SPECIFYING PASSIVE
INTERFACES
Use the Routing Protocol > RIP > Passive Interface (Add) page to stop RIP
from sending routing updates on the specified interface.
CLI REFERENCES
â—† "passive-interface" on page 1030
COMMAND USAGE
â—† Network interfaces can be configured to stop RIP broadcast and
multicast messages from being sent. If the sending of routing updates
is blocked on an interface, the attached subnet will still continue to be
advertised to other interfaces, and updates from other routers on the
specified interface will continue to be received and processed.
â—† This feature can be used in conjunction with the static neighbor feature
(described in the next section) to control the routing updates sent to
specific neighbors.
