Chapter38 Configuring IP Unicast Routing Configuring Protocol-Independent Features
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 inte rface s.
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 mor e routes.
When used in OSPF, this feature applies to only external routes, and you cannot sp ec ify a n in terfa ce
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:
Use the no distribute-list in router configuration command to change or cancel a filter. To cancel
suppression of network advertisements in updates, use the no distribute-list out rout er c on figuration
command.
Filtering Sources of Routing Information
Because some routing information might be more accurate than others, you can use filtering to prioritiz e
information coming from different sources. An administrative distance is a rating of the trustworthiness
of a routing information source, such as a router or group o f rout ers. I n a l arge ne twork, so me r outing
protocols can be more reliable than others. By specifying administrati v e dist ance v alu es, you enable the
