Ip Rip Authentication Key - SMC Networks SMC8748ML3 Management Manual

Command Usage
• Split horizon never propagates routes back to an interface from which
they have been acquired.
• Poison reverse propagates routes back to an interface port from which
they have been acquired, but sets the distance-vector metrics to infinity.
(This provides faster convergence.)
Example
This example propagates routes back to the source using poison-reverse.
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ip split-horizon poison-reverse
Console(config-if)#

Command Usage
