RE: eigrp neighbor command

RIP: with passive interface you block the SENDING of broadcast route updates. The router still receives them though. With the neighbor command you can unicast routing updates to specific routers.
EIGRP: with passive interface you block the RECEIVING AND SENDING of route updates. It prevents the sending of hello packets. Because no hello packets are received by a neighbor, there will be no neighbor relationship established, therefor no routing updates will be exchanged. The neighbor command will not work in this case and it should not be used. To be able to do the same as with RIP when you use "passive-interface" and "neighbor", you should use "distribute-list" with EIGRP. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.... Check this at:

        with RIP, you can use "passive interface" to block broadcast/multicast, and
        use the neighbous command to unicast.
        
        I assume the same is true of EIGRP.

        If passive interface was specified, RIP and EIGRP will not send any
        routing updates via the passive interface, even neighbor command used

        Event with passive-ineterface?
