Description

Enable a reverse-path forwarding (RPF) check on unicast traffic.

On EX3200 and EX4200 switches, enable a reverse-path forwarding (RPF) check on unicast traffic (except ECMP packets) on all ingress interfaces.

On EX4300 switches, enable a reverse-path forwarding (RPF) check on unicast traffic, including ECMP packets, on all ingress interfaces.

On EX8200 and EX6200 switches, enable an RPF check on unicast traffic, including ECMP packets, on the selected ingress interfaces.

On MX204 devices, strict is the default mode unless you over-ride it by setting the option to loose.

On QFX Series switches, enable an RPF check on unicast traffic on the selected ingress interfaces. ECMP packets are checked by QFX5000 Series switches only.

The mode statement is explained separately.

Default

Unicast RPF is disabled on all interfaces.

Options

fail-filter—A filter to evaluate when packets are received on the interface. If the RPF check fails, this optional filter is evaluated. If the fail filter is not configured, the default action is to silently discard the packet.

Required Privilege Level

interface—To view this statement in the configuration.

interface-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
