Disabling interfaces from receiving and sending OSPF packets
Follow these guidelines when you disable interfaces from receiving and sending OSPF packets:
Different OSPF processes can disable the same interface from receiving and sending OSPF packets. The silent-interface command disables only the interfaces associated with the current process rather than interfaces associated with other processes.
After an OSPF interface is set to silent, other interfaces on the router can advertise direct routes of the interface in Router LSAs, but the interface cannot send any packet. This configuration can enhance OSPF adaptability and reduce resource consumption.
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 } | Optional. Not disabled by default. |
