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 Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

2.
Enter interface view.

3.
Enable split horizon.
ripng split-horizon
By default, split horizon is enabled.
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:

By default, poison reverse is
disabled.
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,
RIPng does not process the packets. If you are certain that all packets are trustworthy, disable the zero
field check to save CPU resources.
To configure RIPng zero field check:
