Question from Practice test taking

What problem does the passive-interface command help resolve?
Prevents confusion if both RIPv1 and RIPv2 are being advertised on a network
Prevents wasted bandwidth and processing from unnecessary updates
Prevents routing loops
Prevents updates from being sent out without a password

    I think it's the 2nd one "Prevents wasted bandwidth and processing from unnecessary update", but i'm not cisco person.

    Pretty sure a lot of people here can tell you which one is the correct one. But my guess would be 2nd one.

    What do you think it is and why?

    because that command pretty much tells the router to stop listening for routing updates on a particular interface.

    Well my belief it is two. The reason I feel it is two is because I know that it does not send advertisements out the interface it is set on so this does not waste bandwith and send updates.

    I think you are confusing RIP with EIGRP/OSPF when it comes to passive interface.

    That would be my answer as well.

    I agreed on that answer and because it is rip you could see alot of saved bandwidth if the rip tables are large.
