Troubleshooting the Static Routes Table

When adding a new static route to the Static Routes table, the added rule passes a validation test. If errors are found, the static route is rejected and not added to the table. Failed static route validations may result in limited connectivity (or no connectivity) to the destinations specified in the incorrect static route. For any error found in the Static Routes table or failure to configure a static route, the device sends a notification message to the syslog server reporting the problem.

Common static routing configuration errors may include the following:

■

The IP address specified in the 'Gateway' field is unreachable from the IP network interface associated with the static route.

■

The same destination has been configured in two different static routing rules.

■

More than 30 static routes have been configured.
