Have a horrible feeling this is going to be an obvious one…. but can’t find any literature as to the reason why the static routes below keep going into a status of ‘INACTV’?
Only reference I found is that it might if the IP address isn’t reachable, which isn’t the case here?
In essence I am just trying to add a default route, and as you can see I’ve tried many iterations but all show inactive, and are pingable. None of the next hop addresses are directly connected.
I believe in VOSS the next hop doesn’t need to be directly connected?

Any idea what might be happening here?
Many thanks.
