If you are referring to the CCIE lab then there aren't any rules. If they ask you to make them passive then do. If they don't ask then don't make them passive.

In the real world if you don't want to waste CPU cycles you can make any interface that will not have a "neighbor" passive (i.e loopback).

Subject: Passive-interface for loopback0

Dear all,

 

what are the rules concerning loopback 0 passive-interface:

 

 

for example:

 

OSPF:

 

int loopback0

 ip add x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

!

router ospf 1

 net ...

 passive-interface loopback0

! ================================= I think not needed

 

 

RIP

int loopback0

 ip add x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

!

router RIP

 net ...

 passive-interface loopback0

! ================================= I think needed

 

 

EIGRP

 

int loopback0

 ip add x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

!

router EIGRP 1

 net ...

 passive-interface loopback0

! ================================= I think needed

 

Thanks for your support

Laurent
