Passive Interface In Rip : 

Passive Interfaces : Through passive interfaces broadcast and multicast updates are not sent but any type of  updates can be recieved.

=>But in above topology we have to advertise R1 loopback to R2 so we have to enable Rip on it . But at the time when Rip is enabled on Router R1 loopback interface it will start sending update message out of its loopback interface after every 30 seconds but ..let's us assume that a case have arrived in front of us that we have to advertise a specific network through RIp  but don't want to send updates through that specific interface then we will configure that interface as Passive Interface .

=>In above Topology we will make R1 loopback interface as passive interface : 

Commands : 

R1(config)#router rip

R1(config-router)#version 2
R1(config-router)#no auto-summary
R1(config-router)#network 12.0.0.0
R1(config-router)#network 1.0.0.0
R1(config-router)#passive-interface
R1(config-router)#passive-interface loopback 1
R1(config-router)#exit

Now see Routing table at R2: 

R2(config)#do show ip route rip 
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area 
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
       i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
       ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
       o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP
       + - replicated route, % - next hop override

Gateway of last resort is not set

      1.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
R        1.1.1.1 [120/1] via 12.0.0.1, 00:00:09, FastEthernet0/0
