HP-UX Routing Services Administrator's Guide HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX 11i v3 (B2355-91153, November 2011)

Interface Configuration With strictintfs Option Specified
The following configuration references a non-existent interface. The options strictintfs line
in the interfaces statement ensures that all the configured interfaces exit before gated starts.
traceoptions "tt" general;
interfaces {
options strictintfs ;
interface lan0 lan1 lan3 passive ;
} ;
rip yes ;
The following is the tracing output that is produced when gated is started with this configuration:
trace_on: Tracing to "/tt" started
Tracing flags enabled: general
parse: conf.tt:4 Interface not found at ’lan3’
parse_parse: 2 parse errors

Interface Configuration Without strictintfs Option Specified
The following configuration references a non-existent interface, but does not include the
strictintfs option:
traceoptions "tt" general;
interfaces {
interface lan0 lan1 lan3 passive ;
} ;
rip yes ;
The following is the tracing output that is produced when gated is started with this configuration:
trace_on: Tracing to "/tt" started
Tracing flags enabled: general
inet_routerid_notify: Router ID: 15.13.119.134
You can also find the results of this same command in the gated_dump file. In the following
segment of a gated_dump file, the interface is listed as passive in the interface policy statement
toward the end of this example:
