Configuring Split Horizon And Poison Reverse; Configuring The Maximum Number Of Ecmp Routes - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

Step
2. Enter RIP view.
3. Configure RIP timers.

Configuring split horizon and poison reverse

The split horizon and poison reverse functions can prevent routing loops.
If both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect.
Enabling split horizon
Split horizon disables RIP from sending routes through the interface where the routes were learned to
prevent routing loops between adjacent routers.
To enable split horizon:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Enable split horizon.
Enabling poison reverse
Poison reverse allows RIP to send routes through the interface where the routes were learned, but the
metric of these routes is always set to 16 (unreachable) to avoid routing loops between neighbors.
To enable poison reverse:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Enable poison reverse.

Configuring the maximum number of ECMP routes

Perform this task to implement load sharing over ECMP routes.
To configure the maximum number of ECMP routes:
