[zebra 23030] Re: Selective route advertisement

Hi David,
Thanks for your e-mail. Actually I was getting so many LSAs from outside
when I put my machiene into the network. However, sometime I need to get the
routes also. So basically I'm trying to see if there is a passive mode as in
RIP where it just listens to route updates. Yeah, I understand ur point,
OSPF is not a distance vector one.
Thanks,
Adityaa
