RE: Passive-interface for loopback0

Or perhaps a nice "best practice" thing to get in the habit of is using
"passive default" and then you must deliberately choose which interfaces
have peers to use the "no passive ..." on. I've always found this helps me
keep things clean without wasting MY OWN cpu cycles. :)

Just a thought....

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).

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
