Hello Murat When a router is configured to fun the RIP routing protocol, it sends out RIP updates from ALL of its interfaces, regardless of which networks are being advertised. This means that RIP updates will be sent to the ISP, but will be ignored. For this reason, it is a good idea to make such interfaces passive, to eliminate needless RIP updates. Keep in mind that the `network` command simply states which networks will be advertised. It does not affect which interfaces will send RIP updates. It is the `passive` command that disables the (default) behaviour of sending out updates. I hope this has been helpful!
