ip rip poison-reverse

Last Updated : Nov 06, 2012 |

Enables split-horizon with poison-reverse on the current interface. Use no ip rip poison-reverse to disable the poison-reverse mechanism.

The split-horizon technique prevents information about routes from exiting the router interface through which the information was received. This prevents routing loops.

Poison-reverse updates explicitly indicate that a network or subnet is unreachable. Poison-reverse updates are sent to defeat large routing loops.
