Re: ip split-horizon on frame-relay; link state protocols

Wouldn't "no ip split-horizon" on the eigrp hub be turned on by
default anyway and therefore not show up in the config? IGRP/RIP and
EIGRP split-horizons are different things altogether to my knowledge.

It still remains a frame-realy physical interface...

Thank you again.
