## Symptoms

- * A non-configured static-route appears in the routing-table/WebUI without an option to remove the route.

* The route appears as it was learned via Dynamic Routing in the WebUI and Static-Route via CLI.

* Adding the route via CLISH/WebUI will not alert about duplicate route, and deleting it will only delete the newly added route.

* Removing the route from /etc/route0.conf or with the 'ip route del' command deletes the route until next configuration change.

## Cause

A redesign in R80.20.20 in how the Gateway handles static routes introduced a software limitation.
