Jim,

You are right about that OSPF suppresses hellos if you use
passive-interface. But you can bring up an adjacency with neighbor
statements. All LSA's will then be exchanged between the routers.

So if the goal is to not send out any LSA's then a filter is better.

On broadcast and NBMA networks you can configure the filter on the
interface like this:

(config-if)#ip ospf database-filter all out

The above filter is used for multicast based OSPF.

If you are using neighbor statements under the OSPF process then you
must configure the filter on the neighbor statement (unicast based
OSPF).

Regards,
Andri Bersvendsen

Maybe this would be good if you didn't want to advertise out a certain
interface, but still wanted it to form an adjacency and receive routes.
If I
am not mistaken, passive-interface also suppresses hellos. But at this
point
I may very well be wrong, as my brain is really fried lately.

Sure. If you add an interface to OSPF using a network
statement and then make it passive, that network gets
advertised into OSPF but no OSPF packets will leave that
particular interface.
