IOS-XR: EIGRP passive-interface default?

[Garry Peirce]

It appears there's no ability to make all interfaces passive by default in XR as there is in IOS.

Is there a reason for this or is it just that it has not been included yet?

Workaround is to configure all unnecessary interfaces as passive but I prefer to have all passive and then only enabled where needed.

TIA,

hi gary, when I saw your request here popping up I checked immediately what the status is and the howabouts. The bad news is that nothing has happened on this yet, this is not good. I got all the excuses in the world for you (like EIGRP DE mgmt changes, string of bugs that had to be prioritized etc), but that is not right. I am on it and I will try to get an answer if and when this can be expected. Apologies.

hi gary, promised you an update:

We are going to be able to complete this by end of august.

this means XR 6.0 or possibly 6.0.1

the functionality is not very complex (but requires some extra testing), if you are on an EMR release (such as 513, 434 etc) I'll be able to deliver this in a feature pack also.

Feature pack is service pack plus some small like this functionalities.

cheers
