Usage Guidelines

When you configure the interfaces as passive, the interfaces drop all the OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 control packets.

You can use the ip ospf active and ip ospf passive commands in interface subconfiguration mode to change active/passive state on specific OSPFv2 interfaces. You can use the ipv6 ospf active and ipv6 ospf passive commands in interface subconfiguration mode to change the active and passive state on specific OSPFv3 interfaces.

The no form of the command disables the passive state.

Examples

The following example marks all OSPFv2 interfaces as passive. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router ospf
device(config-ospf-router)# default-passive-interface

The following example marks all OSPFv3 interfaces as passive for VRF “red”. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 router ospf vrf red
device(config-ospf6-router-vrf-red)# default-passive-interface
