Configure the routing device so that active open messages are not sent to the peer. Once you configure the routing device to be passive, the routing device will wait for the peer to issue an open request before a message is sent.

Default

If you omit this statement, all explicitly configured peers are active, and each peer periodically sends open requests until its peer responds.
