Passive Network

A passive network is a type of computer network in which each node works on a predefined function or process. Passive networks don't execute any specialized code or instruction at any node and don't change their behavior dynamically. Typically, this behavior is related to each network router node.

What Does Passive Network Mean?

A passive network is one of the most common types of network found in most network environments. It requires that the entire network infrastructure be predesigned and configured prior to operation. When a packet passes through a network node in a passive network, that node only performs those actions configured within it.
