Configuring gated
Customizing Routes
Chapter 3 91
Setting Interface States
gated times out routes that pass through interfaces not receiving any
RIP, OSPF, or BGP packets. The passive clause in the interface
statement of the Static class prevents gated from changing the
preference of a route to the interface if routing information is not
received for the interface. HP recommends that you use the passive
clause for all interfaces.
