| OS | Gaia |

## Symptoms

- * Output of Clish command "show route" does not show the new static route that was added in Gaia Portal / Gaia Clish.
* Outputs of Expert commands "route -nv" / "netstat -nr" do not show the new static route that was added in Gaia Portal / Gaia Clish.
* A recursive route (non-local next-hop) by static route is being created

## Cause

The next-hop for the newly created static-route is accessible through another route on the machine, rather than a directly connected network.  

Example:  
The Gaia is configured with an IP 192.168.3.1/24  
A route for network 192.168.10.0/24 was created, with the next hop 192.168.3.100 (directly connected)  
A new route is being added, to network 192.168.18.0/24, with the next hop 192.168.10.100 (not directly connected)  
The new route will not be added to the routing table.

## Solution

No fix is required. This behavior is by design.
The next-hop gateway address for a static-route needs to be a in a directly connected network.
