The issue is would I get the points of that question in the exam, if I left it disabled (I mean the physical F/R interface). I have tried it in my home lab; enable it once then disable it, it makes no difference.

On every other inteface type is is ENABLED by default :)

Always been messing with that logic :) Especially when I type fast :)

  2006/5/11, Petr Lapukhov <petrsoft@gmail.com>: The main things to remember with split horizon:

1) You should remember that physical FR interface has "ip split-horizon"
    enabled by default. Pay attention to this with RIP configurations.

2) EIGRP has different command for split horizon; it is on by default
    on every interface

3) You need to disable split-horizon if you want to advertise secondary IP
    back the same interface.

4) A way to work out H&S problem w/ split-horizon is update unicasting.

5) Split-horizon applies to redistributed routes. That is, if if you receive routes
    via one interface and try send them back the same interface, redistibuting into
    another protocol, you need to disable split horizon. Protocols need to be
    distance-vector, of course :)

6) Split-horizon is turned on for RIPng on every inteface by default. You can disable it
    only per-process.

There are more things, but they are not that important :)

    Sami -

Take a look at the docCD on what split-horizon does, by disallowing
advertising what it receives on an interface to be sent out the same
interface. So if you are on hub and spoke, for example, and need to get
the inform from a spoke to another spoke (received at the hub, set up as
multipoint)....you will need to disable it. HTH.

Hi folks,
  I am trying to understand the logic to enable/disable split-horizon on
distance-vector interfaces; like ethernet sub-interface, physical serial
f/r, sub-interface serial f/r and lastly the hub&spoke physical and
sub-interface.

  Thank you
