When FRR transitioned to a pure static daemon, staticd changed to not install the routes until the nexthop was valid ( ala all the other routing protocols not installing a route unless it is workable ).
Thanks for the quick response! OK, I understand that the route should not be set in the kernel if it is invalid. But I think it would be good to somehow see it in the output of show ip route. One cannot distinguish between no route and a configured/inactive route. What do you think?
show run?
Well, yes I can see the route in the present configuration by using show run. However, I can not easily see the workable state of the FRR route.
I think showing the state of such routes in show ip route is a user friendly and useful feature.
Yes you can it's not workable so it doesn't show up

@donaldsharp What @alexvelkov1 is saying is that they would like to see all routes in the output of show ip route
, including routes which are not installed. Routes which are not installed should have some sort of indication that that is their state.
This issue will no longer be automatically closed.
Hello everybody,
I have an issue of routes not being shown in the output of show ip route. The route is a static route pointing to a gateway that is not reachable. The route is present in the configuration and visible when running show running. So, I expect to see the route as configured, but as not yet active in the output somehow, e.g. without the * mark. This is true also for older versions of FRR, I checked back down to version 8.2.2.
Steps to reproduce:
Thanks for any help!
