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