Figure 37-2 Unicast RPF Dropping Packets That Fail Verification
Implementing Unicast RPF
Unicast RPF has several key implementation principles:
• The packet must be received at an interface that has the best return path (route) to the packet source
(a process called
symmetric routing ). There must be a route in the FIB matching the route to the
receiving interface. Adding a route in the FIB is done with a static route, network statement, or
dynamic routing. (ACLs permit the use of Unicast RPF when packets will arrive by specific, less
optimal asymmetric input paths.)
•
IP source addresses at the receiving interface must match the routing entry for the interface.
• Unicast RPF is an input function and is applied only on the input interface of a switch at the
upstream end of a connection.
Given these implementation principles, Unicast RPF becomes a tool that network administrators can use
not only for their customers but also for their downstream network or ISP, even if the downstream
network or ISP has other connections to the Internet.
Caution Using optional BGP attributes such as weight and local preference, you can modify the best path back
to the source address. Modification affects the operation of Unicast RPF.
