Step 2
Switch(config-if)# ip verify unicast source
reachable-via rx allow-default
Step 3
Switch(config-if)# exit

Verifying Unicast RPF

To verify that Unicast RPF is operational, use the show cef interface command. The following example
shows that Unicast RPF is enabled at interface Gigabit Ethernet 3/1:
Switch# show cef interface gigabitEthernet 3/1

Chapter 37 Configuring Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding
Purpose
Selects the input interface on which you want to
apply Unicast RPF. it is the receiving interface,
allowing Unicast RPF to verify the best return path
before forwarding the packet on to the next
destination.
The interface type is specific to your switch and the
types of interface cards installed on the switch. To
display a list of available interface types, enter the
interface ? command.
Enables Unicast RPF on the interface.
Exits interface configuration mode. Repeat Steps 2
and 3 for each interface on which you want to apply
Unicast RPF.
