What does the passive-interface command do?
Group of answer choices

It turns off the propagation of routing protocol on the interfaces it is placed on.

The command passively looks for traffic that indicates there is a hacker on the network.

This is an interface that has not had the 'no shut' command run on it.

This command shuts off a dynamic routing protocol and turns it into a static protocol.

The correct answer is:

**It turns off the propagation of routing protocol on the interfaces it is placed on.**

The `passive-interface` command is used in routing protocols like OSPF or EIGRP to stop the sending of routing updates from that interface while still allowing the interface to receive updates. This is useful for interfaces that are connected to end devices, where you want to prevent routing protocol messages but still want to include the network in the routing decisions.
