Object

column r/w Enumeration
This variable specifies whether to send poison reverse
updates on this interface.  Poison reverse updates are
used to prevent larger loops within the network by
setting the metric (cost) of neighboring routes to
infinity.  This will prevent two-hop loops.
              
By default, RIP uses a technique called split horizon
to avoid routing loops and allow smaller update packets.
Split horizon specifies that when a RIP update is sent
out a particular network interface, it should not
include routing information acquired over that same
interface.  Poison Reverse is a variation of the split
horizon technique that specifies that all routes are
included in an update out a particular interface, but
that the metric is set to infinity for routes acquired
over that interface.  One drawback is that routing update
packet sizes are increased when using poison reverse.
              
Setting the value of this object to 'disable' prevents
poison reverse updates, where 'enable' allows poison
updates to be sent on this interface.  The default value
is 'disabled'.
