Description 
Use the rip split-horizon command to configure an interface to use split horizon when 
transmitting RIP packets. 
Use undo rip split-horizon command to configure an interface not to use split horizon 
when transmitting RIP packets.  
By default, an interface is enabled to use split horizon when transmitting RIP packets. 
Normally, split horizon is necessary for reducing route loop. Only in some special cases, 
you need to disable split horizon to ensure the correct execution of protocols. When 
doing that, make sure that it is necessary. 
Example 
# Specify the interface Vlan-interface 10 not to use split horizon when processing RIP 
packets. 
[Quidway] interface Vlan-interface 10 
[Quidway-Vlan-interface10] undo rip split-horizon
