Configuring passive interfaces in the context of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) plays a crucial role in enhancing network security and preventing the disclosure of routing information. RIP is one of the oldest distance vector routing protocols used to exchange routing information within a network. However, its simplicity and age also make it vulnerable to various
