Command Reference Guide
If an attached interface goes down, the associated route is immediately (within the same random
five-second interval) triggered. The next regular update excludes the failed interface. This is the so-called
first hand knowledge rule. If a gateway has first hand knowledge of a route failure (connected interfaces) or
reestablishment, the same action is taken. A triggered update occurs, advertising the route as failed
(metric equals 16) or up (normal metric) followed by the normal scheduled update.
The assumption here is that if a gateway missed the triggered update, it will eventually learn from another
gateway in the standard convergence process. This conserves bandwidth.
