silent-interface (OSPFv3)

Function

The silent-interface command suppresses the specified interface from sending and receiving OSPFv3 packets.

The undo silent-interface command restores the default setting.

By default, the interface is permitted to send or receive OSPFv3 packets.

Format

silent-interface { all | interface-type interface-number }

undo silent-interface { all | interface-type interface-number }

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
all	Indicates all interfaces in a specified process.	-
interface-type interface-number	Indicates the interface type and interface number.	-

Usage Guidelines

To prevent a FW from advertising routes to the FW on a certain network and from importing the routes of other FW, you can suppress the interface on which OSPFv3 is enabled from receiving and sending OSPFv3 packets.

After an OSPFv3 interface is set to be silent, the interface can still advertise its direct routes through the Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA of the same router. No OSPFv3 neighbor relationship can be set up on the interface. Therefore, the OSPFv3 adaptability is enhanced.

Different processes can suppress the same interface from sending and receiving OSPFv3 packets. But the silent-interface command takes effect only on the OSPFv3 interface of the process.

Example

# Suppress GigabitEthernet0/0/1 from sending and receiving OSPFv3 packets.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] ospfv3 1
[sysname-ospfv3-1] silent-interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
