## Symptoms

- * After removing static routes from the Topology of a Virtual System object and pushing the VSX Configuration:

  * Output of the Clish command "`show routes`" in the context of Virtual System still shows the deleted static routes

  * Output of the Expert commands "`route -rn`" and "`netstat -rn`" on the VSX Gateway still shows the deleted static routes

  * Output of the Expert command "`dbget -rv routed:instance:<VSID>:static`" on the VSX Gateway still shows the deleted static routes in the Gaia Database configured for this Virtual System

* Kernel Traces in the context of Virtual System:

  `
  HostName:VSID> set trace global all on`  
  `
  HostName:VSID> set trace kernel all on`  
  `
  HostName:VSID> set tracefile size 10`  
  `
  HostName:VSID> save config
  `

  show the following in the `/var/log/routed.log` file when removing static routes from the Topology and pushing the VSX Configuration:

  *Date Time*` parse: routed1.conf:`*N*` Next hop for static route X.X.X/Y can not be an address assigned to a local interface at 'end-of-statement'`  
  `
  ... ...`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` parse_parse: 1 parse error
  `

## Cause

The next hop IP address configured in the problematic static route belongs to one of the local interfaces on the Virtual System.
