Cannot remove directly connected route for ASA

[Colin Higgins]

I have a static route on my ASA5545X I need to remove. It points to a remote network through a downstream gateway.

When I do a

no route inside 172.31.150.0 255.255.255.0 172.25.36.1

I get the message: cannot remove connected route

There is a command to selectively delete a portion of the configuration that can be used to remove this, but I can't remember what it is and can't find it anywhere in the documentation.

Anyone remember it?

You need to shutdown the connected interface temporarily. Then you can remove the static route.

Actually, the clear config route inside command will also work, but it will clear ALL the routes.

Thanks Marvin and Colin. Shutting down the interface temporarily worked for me.

1). First try to remove interface name if. 

2). Remove interface assign ip address assign applied static route. 

apply same configuration above which you remove from interface. Surprise static route is remove.
