Ofcouse, after a reboot, the countdown will start over. Sometimes it take less than a week to get to 345. J"org responded to a previous post similar to this one and stated the following: "It means your system accumulated too many clone routes within short time, and thus finally dropped the timoeout in order to not waste too much space in keeping them around. Clone routes are network routes that have been applied to a particular destination host to make routing more efficient. If they live for too short, your routing will be slower. 710 seconds doesn't look too short to me however." My questions are as follows: 1) What value would be considered too short? 2) What are the consequences if this value gets to be too short? 3) How can I stop this countdown from occuring?
