Description

Check whether the packet has a source address with a corresponding prefix in the routing table. If a corresponding prefix is not found, unicast RPF loose mode does not accept the packet. Unlike strict mode, loose mode does not check whether the interface expects to receive a packet with a specific source address prefix.

Default

If you do not include this statement, unicast RPF is in strict mode.

Usage Guidelines
