Configuring Summary Addresses and Split Horizon
In general, disabling split horizon is not recommended unless you are certain that your application requires
it to properly advertise routes.
Note
If you want to configure an interface running RIP to advertise a summarized local IP address pool on a network
access server for dial-up clients, use the ip summary-address rip interface configuration command.
