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
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enter OSPF view.
3.
Disable interfaces from
receiving and sending
OSPF packets.

Configuring stub routers

A stub router is used for traffic control. It reports its status as a stub router to neighboring OSPF routers.
The neighboring routers do not use the stub router to forward data although they have a route to it.
Router LSAs from the stub router might contain different link type values. A value of 3 means a link to a
stub network, and the cost of the link will not be changed by default. To set the cost of the link to 65535,
specify the include-stub keyword in the stub-router command. A value of 1, 2 or 4 means a point-to-point
link, a link to a transit network, or a virtual link. On such links, a maximum cost value of 65535 is used.
Neighbors do not send packets to the stub router as long as they have a route with a smaller cost.
To configure a router as a stub router:
Step
1.
Enter system view.

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.
