Hey Group,
I recently pondered something while at work and nobody could give me a
strait answer. Actually I feel a little embarrassed asking this due to me
being an NP and I feel like I should know this. Guess this type of thing
doesn't come up much around me. Question is: Can poison reverse (PR) be used
with OSPF? I know split horizon is used with it but I just cant see why/how
poison reverse would. My definition of PR is that it sets the link to the
max hop count and deems it unreachable, hence the term poison. I can't see
how this would work with OSPF because it doesn't use a hop count. Maybe I'm
confused about PR. Does it set the link to the highest metric, and not hop
count? Maybe I'm just used to hearing about PR in discussions of RIP that
I'm assuming it set the hop count to the highest and has nothing to do with
metric. Any clarity would help, thanks all...
...sorry for the rambling...
