Vince Agreed, but I will re-run the test and include the IP protocol 88
capture
For all apologies links sent earlier didn't work posted again. Second link
makes the suggestion advertisements are sent

Subject: Re: Passive-Interface Command (EIGRP)
I don't see how it could still advertise routes since neighbor relationships
won't be formed with passive interface configured. EIGRP cannot advertise
routes to devices that it does not have neighbor adjacencies to.

Group,
I am getting some conflicting info from the Doc-CD on the Passive-interface
command;

The link above states
Configuring the passive-interface command suppresses all incoming and
outgoing routing updates and hello messages. EIGRP neighbor adjacencies
cannot be established or maintained over an interface that is configured as
passive. "
Yet this link;

"Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is disabled on an
interface that is configured as passive although it advertises the route. "
Perhaps its me being silly, I always believed the first quote was correct
for EIGRP, and looking at Debugs on a network would make it true, but then I
decided to hub and "ethereal/wireshark" the packets outgoing and saw IP
protocol 88 being sent (EIGRP)
Does someone have an authoritative answer on this one?
Thanks
Graham
