You are here: Home / passive-interface default

passive-interface default

Command

Passive-Interface Default

Use

This command prevents EIGRP from forming adjacencies on all interfaces on the router. Using no passive-interface default will allow EIGRP communication.

Syntax

Router(config-router)#passive-interface default

Example
simple

In this example, we will use passive-interface default to block all EIGRP adjacencies. Afterwards, we will allow communication through R2’s fa0/0.

R2(config)#do show ip route eigrp
1.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 3 subnets

D 133.133.133.133 [90/156160] via 10.2.2.3, 00:49:22, FastEthernet1/0

Here we enable passive-interface default on R2.

R2(config)#router eigrp 100
R2(config-router)#passive-interface default
R2(config-router)#
*Mar 1 01:06:46.775: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 100: Neighbor 10.1.1.1 (FastEthernet0/0) is down: interface passive
*Mar 1 01:06:46.799: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 100: Neighbor 10.2.2.3 (FastEthernet1/0) is down: interface passive
R2(config-router)#

We can see there is no longer any EIGRP routes on R2.

R2(config-router)#do show ip route eigrp

R2(config-router)#

Now we will use no passive-interface fa0/0 to allow communication through R2’s Fa0/0.

R2(config)#router eigrp 100
R2(config-router)#no passive-interface fa0/0
R2(config-router)#
*Mar 1 01:07:55.815: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 100: Neighbor 10.1.1.1 (FastEthernet0/0) is up: new adjacency
R2(config-router)#

Now we have routes coming in from Fa0/0 but not any other interface.

R2(config)#do show ip route eigrp
