OSPF Passive Interfaces: Configuration and Best Practices

In OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), a passive interface is an interface on which the router stops sending OSPF Hello packets, while still advertising that interface’s connected network in OSPF. Because no Hellos are sent, no OSPF neighbor adjacency can form on that link — but the subnet remains reachable and advertised to the rest...

RIPng Configuration: Advertising IPv6 Networks with RIP Next Generation

RIPng (RIP Next Generation) is the IPv6 adaptation of RIP, defined in RFC 2080. It’s a distance-vector protocol that keeps RIP’s core simplicity — hop count as the metric, a 15-hop maximum, periodic updates — while adapting the protocol’s mechanics for IPv6 addressing. This guide covers how RIPng differs from RIPv2, how to configure it,...
