Question:
When enabled, which feature prevents routing protocols from sending hello messages on an interface?
- virtual links
- passive-interface
- directed neighbors
- OSPF areas
Explanation: You can use the passive-interface command in order to control the advertisement of routing information.
The command enables the suppression of routing updates over some interfaces while it allows updates to
be exchanged normally over other interfaces. With most routing protocols, the passive-interface command restricts outgoing advertisements only.
But, when used with Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), the effect is slightly different.
This document demonstrates that use of the passive-interface command in EIGRP suppresses the
exchange of hello packets between two routers, which results in the loss of their neighbor relationship. This stops not only routing updates from being advertised, but it also suppresses incoming routing updates. This document also discusses the configuration required in order to allow the suppression of outgoing routing updates, while it also allows incoming routing updates to be learned normally from the neighbor
