RIP Passive Interface
This page lets you use the RIP passive interface function to prevent RIP updates from being sent on particular
interfaces.
The passive interface function tells an interface to listen to RIP routes but not to advertise them. When routing
announcements on an interface are disabled, the router will “listen but don’t talk.” This feature can reduce the
routing load on the CPU by reducing the number of interfaces on which a protocol will communicate. Use this
function only if you are sure the routing protocol doesn’t need to talk to anything on the specified interface.
Navigate to the System > RIP > Configuration > Passive Interface menu path.
