Introduction — key points When you change topology (link shutdown, switch replacement, LAG tweak, or routing policy updates) dynamic routing protocols—OSPF and BGP—need to reconverge. A manual check (show ip route, show ip ospf neighbor, show ip bgp summary) on one device is insufficient for […]
![[Day #59 PyATS Series] Detect Split-Horizon Issues in Large Networks Using pyATS for Cisco [Python for Network Engineer]](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Day-59-PyATS-Series-Detect-Split-Horizon-Issues-in-Large-Networks-Using-pyATS-for-Cisco.png)
Introduction — key points Split-horizon and related route-advertisement problems are subtle but catastrophic in large networks: routes sometimes don’t propagate where they should, or — worse — are advertised back like a boomerang creating loops. Detecting these issues at scale requires automation, consistent evidence (raw […]
