Release Information
Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
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.
