This problem occurs on a computer that is configured to use RIP and that has a single network adapter configured for multiple IP addresses on different subnets. To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or the individual software update. Q152734 How to Obtain the Latest Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack For information on obtaining the individual software update, contact Microsoft Product Support Services. This problem was first corrected in Windows NT version 4.0 Service Pack 5. Split horizon with poison reverse improves RIP convergence over simple split horizon by advertising all network IDs, but those network IDs learned in a given directions are advertised with a metric of 16, indicating that the network is unavailable.
Poison reverse has no benefit beyond split horizon in a single path internetwork.
However, in a multipath internetwork, split horizon with poison reverse greatly reduces count to infinity and routing loops. All rights reserved. Terms of Use. No Did not apply Please provide additional comments about this information.
