CSS + static routes

[casablancag]

Hi

We have several CSS configured with static routes. We upgraded to version 7.04.202 and although the routes are configured static I can't see it when i perform the "show ip route" command. I have to ping first my default gateway and the I can see the static routes.

Is there a solution for this behaviour ?

Thanks

Routes will only be added to the routing table when there is an ARP resolution for the next hop address. Is this the reason your routes do not appear?

Why the ARP resolutions may be failing is another matter, but first things first.
