Configuring RIP
If split horizon is enabled, neither autosummary nor interface summary addresses (those configured with
Note
the ip summary-address rip router configuration command) are advertised.
Switch(config)# router rip
Switch(config-router)# interface gi0/2
Switch(config-if)# ip address 10.1.5.1 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if)# ip summary-address rip 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0
Switch(config-if)# no ip split-horizon
Switch(config-if)# exit
Switch(config)# router rip
Switch(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0
Switch(config-router)# neighbor 2.2.2.2 peer-group mygroup
Switch(config-router)# end
Configuring Split Horizon
Routers connected to broadcast-type IP networks and using distance-vector routing protocols normally
use the split-horizon mechanism to reduce the possibility of routing loops. Split horizon blocks
information about routes from being advertised by a router on any interface from which that information
originated. This feature can optimize communication among multiple routers, especially when links are
broken.
In general, we do not recommend disabling split horizon unless you are certain that your application
Note
requires it to properly advertise routes.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to disable split horizon on the interface:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
ip address ip-address subnet-mask
Step 4
no ip split-horizon
Step 5
end
Step 6
show ip interface interface-id
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
To enable the split horizon mechanism, use the ip split-horizon interface configuration command.
