## Symptoms

- * A static route to 0.0.0.0, regardless of the subnet mask, is not installed in the VSX Gateway's routing table.

* The route is added to the *$FWDIR/state/local/VSX/local.vsall* file but does not show in the output of the `"ip route"` or `"show route"` commands.

* If you delete the 0.0.0.0/1 route, the default route that is added from SmartConsole is also deleted.

## Cause

There is an issue with verification in the route installation flow.  
When adding a route, if the destination address is 0.0.0.0, the VSX Gateway adds the route as a default route regardless of the subnet mask.  
If you delete the route there is a mismatch between the Management Server, which in its database the VSX Gateway has a default route, and the VSX itself, which does not have a default route.
