Hi! Thanks for your answer. We thought about redistribute connected as well, but since we currently don’t have access to route maps to filter out the wanted networks (and absolutely not want to expose all internal networks) we thought the way to go would be to include the wanted ones as passive and it would work fine, but apparently not.
Then we will escalate the need for the filter mechanism and go for that solution instead. Thanks again, much appreciated!

Having said that, you have misunderstood how the passive feature has been implemented by many vendors. The passive interface subnet will be advertised as a local stub network in the Router-LSA corresponding to the area in which they are configured. If you want to advertise these subnets as external routes you should not configure them as passive and should simply redistribute your connected routes. Hope this helps, Acee From: Fredrik Liljegren <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at 9:03 AM To: OSPF WG List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [OSPF] ospf passive interface and redistribute ospf Hi! I have a scenario where I run two OSPF instances (AS) on the same router, and intend to share some routing information between them. One instance attaches locally connected networks, and one instance facing the external world. The locally connected networks are included into OSPF as passive networks, and are supposed to be redistributed into the “external” OSPF instance with redistribute OSPF. This does not work, and I can’t find any documentation regarding this use case. Other OSPF networks are redistributed as expected, but the passive networks seems to be considered as connected even though they are included into with the passive feature. Are passive networks to be considered as any other locally connected OSPF network when it comes to redistribute OSPF, or is there some difference in this regards? I thought they would be treated the same, and am trying to convince some designers that it is, but I better make sure first that it actually is the case or did I misunderstand the passive feature? Thanks and regards Fredrik
