Disabling interfaces from receiving and sending OSPF packets
To enhance OSPF adaptability and reduce resource consumption, you can set an OSPF interface to "silent." A silent OSPF interface blocks OSPF packets and cannot establish any OSPF neighbor relationship. However, other interfaces on the router can still advertise direct routes of the interface in Router LSAs.
To disable interfaces from receiving and sending routing information:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter OSPF view. | ospf [ process-id | router-id router-id | vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] * | N/A |
3. Disable interfaces from receiving and sending OSPF packets. | silent-interface { interface-type interface-number | all } | By default, an OSPF interface can receive and send OSPF packets. The silent-interface command disables only the interfaces associated with the current process rather than other processes. Multiple OSPF processes can disable the same interface from receiving and sending OSPF packets. |
