300-410 Exam - Question 222


A customer reports that traffic is not passing on an EIGRP enabled multipoint interface on a router configured as below:

Which action resolves the issue?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

In EIGRP, split horizon is a mechanism that prevents routing loops by prohibiting a router from advertising a route back onto the interface from which it was learned. In a multipoint interface, this feature can prevent traffic from passing correctly because routes that need to be transmitted through the same interface won't be advertised correctly. Disabling split horizon on the multipoint interface will allow these routes to be advertised and enable proper traffic flow.

When split horizon is enabled, any route learned from an interface is not advertised back out the same interface. This rule is intended to stop routing loops with distance-vector protocols.

Poison Reverse is used in RIP enabled interfaces to tackle the count-to-Infinity problems and one can imagine it as a reverse of the Split Horizon method. Split horizon does not send routes learned from the same interface to avoid loops.
