When you want to advertise an interface in OSPF but not form an OSPF adjacency over that interface (for example, towards an ISP), you can configure the interface as passive. This will advertise the network on the interface in OSPF without sending OSPF hello packets or forming OSPF neighbor relationships on that interface.

Nonstop routing (NSR) requires both Graceful Routing Engine Switchover (GRES) and commit synchronization to be configured to maintain routing protocol and forwarding state during a Routing Engine switchover. NSR allows the secondary Routing Engine to take over the control plane without the protocols needing to restart, and GRES ensuresthat the forwarding plane continues operating with the current forwarding table. Commit synchronization ensures that configuration changes are synchronized between the primary and backup Routing Engines.

In segment routing, SIDs (Segment Identifiers) are used to identify different types of segments that can be traversed. A node SID represents an instruction to route a packet to a particular node, and an adjacency SID represents an instruction to route a packet over a specific link or adjacency between two nodes.
