the flash update processing. The default is lower which means that flash updates are
processed first. To process kernel updates at the same priority as flash updates,
specify flash; to process them at a lower priority, use lower.
Tracing options
While the kernel interface is not technically a routing protocol, in many cases it is handled as one. The fol-
lowing two symbols make sense when entered from the command line since the code that uses them is exe-
cuted before the trace file is parsed.
symbols
Symbols read from the kernel, by nlist() or similar interface.
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
