Configuring split horizon and poison reverse

If both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect.
Configuring split horizon
Split horizon disables RIPng from sending routes through the interface where the routes were learned to
prevent routing loops between neighbors.
HP recommends enabling split horizon to prevent routing loops in normal cases.
To configure split horizon:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enter interface view.
3.
Enable split horizon.
Configuring poison reverse
The poison reverse function enables a route learned from an interface to be advertised through the
interface. However, the metric of the route is set to 16, which means the route is unreachable.
To configure poison reverse:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enter interface view.
3.
Enable poison reverse.

Configuring zero field check on RIPng packets

Some fields in the RIPng packet header must be zero. These fields are called "zero fields." You can
enable zero field check on incoming RIPng packets. If a zero field of a packet contains a non-zero value,
