Configuring Protocol-Independent Features
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure passive interfaces:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
router {bgp | rip | ospf | eigrp}
Step 3
passive-interface interface-id
Step 4
passive-interface default
Step 5
no passive-interface interface type
Step 6
network network-address
Step 7
end
Step 8
copy running-config startup-config
Use a network monitoring privileged EXEC command such as show ip ospf interface to verify the
interfaces that you enabled as passive, or use the show ip interface privileged EXEC command to verify
the interfaces that you enabled as active.
To re-enable the sending of routing updates, use the no passive-interface interface-id router
configuration command. The default keyword sets all interfaces as passive by default. You can then
configure individual interfaces where you want adjacencies by using the no passive-interface router
configuration command. The default keyword is useful in Internet service provider and large enterprise
networks where many of the distribution routers have more than 200 interfaces.
Controlling Advertising and Processing in Routing Updates
You can use the distribute-list router configuration command with access control lists to suppress routes
from being advertised in routing updates and to prevent other routers from learning one or more routes.
When used in OSPF, this feature applies to only external routes, and you cannot specify an interface
name.
You can also use a distribute-list router configuration command to avoid processing certain routes listed
in incoming updates. (This feature does not apply to OSPF.)
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to control the advertising or processing of
routing updates:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
router {bgp | rip | eigrp}
Step 3
distribute-list {access-list-number |
access-list-name} out [interface-name | routing
process | autonomous-system-number]
Step 4
distribute-list {access-list-number |
access-list-name} in [type-number]

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter router configuration mode.
Suppress sending routing updates through the specified Layer 3
interface.
(Optional) Set all interfaces as passive by default.
(Optional) Activate only those interfaces that need to have
adjacencies sent.
(Optional) Specify the list of networks for the routing process. The
network-address is an IP address.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter router configuration mode.
Permit or deny routes from being advertised in routing
updates, depending upon the action listed in the access list.
Suppress processing in routes listed in updates.
