DESCRIPTION

16       Mark device as dormant (as per RFC2863).
17
18       The dormant state indicates that the relevant interface is not actually
19       in a condition to pass packets (i.e., it is not 'up') but is in a
20       “pending” state, waiting for some external event. For “on- demand”
21       interfaces, this new state identifies the situation where the interface
22       is waiting for events to place it in the up state.
