ip rip poison-reverse
Command Mode Interface Configuration.
Description Enables split-horizon with poison reverse on an interface. The no form of
this command disables the poison-reverse mechanism. The default state is
split-horizon with poison reverse.
The split-horizon technique prevents information about routes from exiting
the router interface through which the information was learned. This
prevents routing loops.
Poison reverse updates explicitly indicate that a network or subnet is
unreachable rather than implying they are not reachable. Poison reverse
updates are sent to defeat large routing loops.
Syntax
