rpf-check (Dynamic Profiles)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Reduce forwarding of IP packets that might be spoofing and address by checking whether traffic is arriving on an expected path that the sender would use to reach the destination. You can include this statement with the inet protocol family only. When the traffic passes the check, it is forwarded to the destination address; otherwise it is discarded. When you configure rpf-check alone, then unicast RPF is in strict mode, meaning that the check passes only when the packet’s source address is in the FIB and the interface matches the routes RPF.

Starting in Junos OS Release 19.1, the show interfaces statistics logical-interface-name detail command displays unicast RPF statistics for dynamic logical interfaces when either rpf-check or rpf-check mode loose is enabled on the interface. No additional statistics are displayed when rpf-check fail-filter filter-name is configured on the interface. The clear interfaces statistics logical-interface-name command clears RPF statistics.

The remaining statements are explained separately. Search for a statement in CLI Explorer or click a linked statement in the Syntax section for details.
