 Note:
z On the same interface, you can disable multiple OSPF processes from transmitting
OSPF packets. The silent-interface command, however, only applies to the OSPF
interface where the specified process has been enabled, without affecting the
interface for any other process.
z After an OSPF interface is set to be in silent status, the interface can still advertise
its direct route. However, the Hello packets from the interface will be blocked, and no
neighboring relationship can be established on the interface. This enhances OSPF
networking adaptability, thus reducing the consumption of system resources.
