ip ospf passive
Configures an interface as passive.
Synopsis ip ospf passive
no ip ospf passive
Operands None
Defaults All OSPF interfaces are active.
Command Modes Interface subtype configuration mode
Description Use this command to set an OPSF interface to the passive state. Passive interfaces accept and
process all OSPF protocol traffic, but they do not send any traffic.
You might want to set an interface to passive mode if:
• You are planning to use the router mostly for debugging purposes.
• The router is a stub and does not route traffic.
Usage Guidelines Enter no ip ospf passive to set an interface back to active.
Examples To set a specific OSPF 10-gigabit Ethernet interface to passive state:
switch(config)# interface tengigabitethernet 190/0/49
switch(conf-if-te-190/0/49)# ip ospf passive
To set a specific OSPF virtual Ethernet (VE) interface to passive state:
switch(config)# rbridge-id 178
switch(config-rbridge-id-178)# interface ve 24
switch(config-ve-24)# ip ospf passive
