ip split-horizon
This command enables split-horizon or poison-reverse (a variation) on an interface.
Use the
no
form to disable split-horizon.
Syntax
ip split-horizon
[
poison-reverse
]
no ip split-horizon
poison-reverse - Enables poison-reverse on the current interface.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (VLAN)
Default Setting
split-horizon
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)#

(Range: 1-16 characters, case sensitive)
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (VLAN)
Default Setting

routing information. (Note that this command does not apply to RIPv1.)
