Release Information

Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 9.6.

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 reverse path forwarding (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.
