Configuring XNS Services
1-14
A non-fully meshed network is a WAN in which one or more nodes do not have
logically direct connections to all other nodes. F
igure 1-5 shows a sample
non-fully meshed network with Split Horizon disabled.
Figure 1-5. Split Horizon Disabled in a Non-Fully Meshed Network
If you enable Split Horizon on Router A, as shown in F
igure 1-4, Router B will
never learn about Router C’s networks and vice versa. If users on Network 2 need
to communicate with users on Network 3, you must disable Split Horizon on
Router A, as shown in F
igure 1-5. You do not, however, need to disable Split
Horizon on Routers B and C.

Split Horizon disabled on this
interface so that Router B can
learn about Network 3 and
Router C can learn about
Network 2.
