RE: Doubts on ip summary-address rip and ip split horizon

I've received confirmation from other people that they had no problem doing ip summary address RIP with split horizon enabled.
What should we do on a real lab? Follow the docs no matter what and insert no ip split horizon, or if you know it works without, just disregard it?
Thanks

All disregard...I tested it with a route that fell inside the summary route coming from R1 on R2 and it worked fine.

Gustavo,

     Not sure if someone answered this yet for you, but I thought the split horizon issue was only if you are receiving more specific routes that fall in the range of the summary on the interface that has the summary configured. Try configuring a loopback on R2 that falls in the range of the summary and see if R1 still advertises the summary to R2 with split horizons enabled.

Hello
I'm having doubts regarding one thing that doc CD states very strongly:

If split horizon is enabled, neither autosummary nor interface summary addresses (those configured with the ip summary-address rip command) are advertised

I got curious and tried to see for my self.

The config I used is:

interface Loopback1
 ip address 172.1.0.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface Loopback2
 ip address 172.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface Loopback3
 ip address 172.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface Loopback4
 ip address 172.1.3.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
 ip address 150.50.17.1 255.255.255.0
 ip rip v2-broadcast
 ip rip send version 2
 ip rip receive version 2
 ip summary-address rip 172.1.0.0 255.255.252.0 !
router rip
 version 2
 passive-interface default
 no passive-interface FastEthernet0/0
 network 150.50.0.0
 network 172.1.0.0
 network 200.0.0.0
 no auto-summary

By default Ethernet interfaces do have split horizon enabled:

R1#sh ip int fa0/0
FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up
  Internet address is 150.50.17.1/24
  Broadcast address is 255.255.255.255
  Address determined by non-volatile memory
  MTU is 1500 bytes
  ...
  Security level is default
  Split horizon is enabled
  ICMP redirects are always sent
  ICMP unreachables are always sent
  ICMP mask replies are never sent
  ...
  BGP Policy Mapping is disabled
R1#

But when I do
R1#sh ip protocols
Address Summarization:
    172.1.0.0/22 for FastEthernet0/0
  Maximum path: 4

And if I check a router connected to R1, on its routing table I see

R2#sir
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
       i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area
       * - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR
       P - periodic downloaded static route

Am I doing something that is not right? What am I missing here? I don't have autosummary on, so that the 172.1.0.0/22 doesn't become 172.1.0.0/16. But according to docs I shouldn't be seeing the summarized route, right? If I disable split horizon, the things are pretty much the same...

Would any one please explain this to me?

Thank you
