Each route may be assigned a connected metric and a disconnected metric. The connected
metric parameter specifies the metric for a route whose interface is active. The disconnected
metric specifies the metric for a route whose interface is inactive. Normally both values should
be the same, but in some advanced routing scenarios, it is necessary to use different values.
If a particular route fails, it will automatically have its metric set to 16 which means that it is
temporarily deemed as being out of service. The default out of service period is set by the IP
route out of service parameter. Note that this default period may be overwritten in certain
situations such as when a firewall stateful inspection rule specifies a different period. When a
route is out of service, the router uses any alternative routes (with matching subnets) first.
