2) Control plane
a) Unicast reverse path forwarding
-The way that uRPF works is to check the source IP address of a packet arriving on an interface and
determine whether that IP address is reachable, based on the router’s Forwarding Information Base
(FIB) used by Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)
- CEF must be enabled on a router to use uRPF.
-

3 modes:
a) strict mode: "> With strict mode operation, a router not only checks to make sure that the source
IP address of an arriving packet is reachable, based on the router’s FIB, but the packet must
also be arriving on the same interface the router would use to send traffic back to that IP
address.

b) Loose mode: "> With loose mode operation, a router only verifies that the source IP address of a
packet is reachable, based on the router’s FIB.

c) vrf mode:

configuration:
By default, a router with uRPF configured would drop a packet whose source IP address was only
reachable by a default route; however, uRPF supports an allow-default option that accepts a default
route as a valid way to get back to a source IP address.

#ip verify unicast source reachable-via {rx | any} [allow-default] [allow-selfping] [

# show cef interface to check if uRPF is enabled or not.
