iflist
Interface list scan. This option is useful when entered from the command line as the first inter-
face list scan is performed before the configuration file is parsed.
The following tracing options may only be specified in the configuration file. They are not valid from the
command line.
remnants
Routes read from the kernel when GateD starts.
request
Requests by GateD to Add/Delete/Change routes in the kernel forwarding table.
Static Statements
Static statements define the static routes used by GateD. A single static statement can specify any
number routes. The static statements occur after protocol statements and before control statements in
the gated.conf file. Any number of static statements may be specified, each containing any number of
static route definitions. These routes can be overridden by routes with better preference values.

default gateway gateway_list
This is the most general form of the static statement. It defines a static route through one or
more gateways. Static routes are installed when one or more of the gateways listed are avail-
able on directly attached interfaces. If more than one eligible gateways are available, they are
limited by the number of multipath destinations supported (this compile time parameter is
currently almost always one on Unix).
Parameters for static routes are:
interface interface_list
When this parameter is specified, gateways are only considered valid when they are on one
of these interfaces.See the section on interface list specification for the description of the
interface_list.
preference preference
This option selects the preference of this static route. The preference controls how this
route competes with routes from other protocols. The default preference is 60.
retain
Normally gated removes all routes except interface routes from the kernel forwarding table
during a graceful shutdown. The retain option may be used to prevent specific static
routes from being removed. This is useful to insure that some routing is available when
gated is not running.
reject
Instead of forwarding a packet like a normal route, reject routes cause packets to be
dropped and unreachable messages to be sent to the packet originators. Specifying this
option causes this route to be installed as a reject route. Not all kernel forwarding engines
