Specifying
Passive Interfaces
Use the Routing Protocol > RIP > Passive Interface (Add) page to stop RIP from
sending routing updates on the specified interface.
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.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆ VLAN – VLAN interface on which to stop sending RIP updates. (Range: 1-4094)
Web Interface
To specify a passive RIP interface:
1. Click Routing Protocol, RIP, Passive Interface.
2. Select Add from the Action list.
3. Add the interface on which to stop sending RIP updates.
4. Click Apply.
