5.3.12 State Changes

During router operation, interfaces may fail or be manually disabled, or may become available for use by the router. Similarly, forwarding may be disabled for a particular interface or for the entire router or may be (re)enabled. While such transitions are (usually) uncommon, it is important that routers handle them correctly.
