Thank you very much for your response Lupi, And no, I am using something called Rapid OS by Riverstone,(kind of like Cisco IOS) and it doesn`t have that command.
I work for an IDC company that is starting up, and I joined a few days ago when the backbone was just completed. We are expecting 10s of customers within next couple of month, and probably more in the future. And I didn`t want to spend alot of time, adding each customer to the opsf backbone, and setting the interfaces passive, individually. So I wanted to add all the interfaces to backbone area, and set the interfaces passive individually, if needed. sean > Do you have the ability to use this command? > > ospf set interface blah state disable > > I don't have a box that is not in production to test this on, I would be > curious to see if the router still announces the network but just does not > send hello's.
