Chapter 37 Configuring Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding
About Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding
•
Per-interface statistics
illustrates how Unicast RPF and CEF work together to validate IP source addresses by
verifying packet return paths. In this example, a customer has sent a packet having a source address of
192.168.1.1 from interface Gigabit Ethernet 1/1. Unicast RPF checks the FIB to see if 192.168.1.1 has
a path to Gigabit Ethernet 1/1. If there is a matching path, the packet is forwarded. If there is no matching
path, the packet is dropped.

Unicast RPF Validating IP Source Addresses
illustrates how Unicast RPF drops packets that fail validation. In this example, a customer
has sent a packet having a source address of 209.165.200.225, which is received at interface Gigabit
Ethernet 1/1. Unicast RPF checks the FIB to see if 209.165.200.225 has a return path to Gigabit Ethernet
1/1. If there is a matching path, the packet is forwarded. There is no reverse entry in the routing table
that routes the customer packet back to source address 209.165.200.225 on interface Gigabit Ethernet
1/1, and so the packet is dropped.
