Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

Description
Enable indirectly connected next hops for route convergence. This statement is implemented on the Packet Forward Engine to speed up forwarding information base (FIB) updates. Configuring this statement significantly speeds convergence times. The only downside of configuring this statement is that some additional FIB memory overhead is required. Unless routes have an extremely high number of next hops, this increased memory usage should not be noticeable.
