Configuring uRPF

When you configure uRPF, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
Global uRPF configuration takes effect on both IPv4 and IPv6 routes.
•
• uRPF checks only incoming packets on an interface.
After you enable the uRPF function on the switch, the routing table size might decrease by half.
•
• If the number of routes exceeds half the routing table size of the switch, the uRPF function cannot be
enabled to avoid loss of routes and packets.
To enable uRPF globally:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable uRPF globally.
