RE: RIP passive interface, still being advertised

Jason,

I think you're mis-understanding passive interface. A passive interface
does NOT keep connected interfaces from showing up in the route table
and being included in the routing protocol. Passive interface simply
keeps that interface from sending out routing protocol updates, etc....
(for EIGRP it will keep a neigbor relationship from being formed at
all). But keep in mind, that a router CAN and WILL receive routing
updates on a passive interface (for OSPF and EIGRP, since they won't
send, they can't be neighbors, so it's not an issue, but for RIP it can
still learn routes on a passive interface).

Here's the scoop...... You have the S0.501 and BRI0 on R5 as passive,
however, you have "network 170.1.0.0" under the 'router rip' on R5.
That right there automatically puts 170.1.100.4/30 (from the
serial0.501) and 170.1.201.0/30 (from the BRI0) into the RIP routing
process, which is then advertised around the network.....

Subject: RIP passive interface, still being advertised

I am having a problem with a passive interface being propagated into a
RIP network. I am trying to keep certain interfaces (BRI0, S0.501, etc)
from being routed via RIP. The problem is that I have them interfaces
passive but they still show up in the RIP database and Route tables.

 

Initially, I just did this, thinking it would do the tricl:

 

Router rip

Passive-interface default

No passive e0 (etc)

 

Another problem is that R5 is redistributing the BRI0 (170.1.201.0 which
should be passive) into OSPF and causing problems. Why are these
passive interfaces being put into the RIP process?

 

Here are the configs:
