Remove a static NAT but the static route remains in the routing table

[JOSEPH GAYNOR]

For a test added the following:

Ip nat outside source static 10.151.112.9 10.226.133.219 add-route

At test conclusion issued the following commands:

no Ip nat outside source static 10.151.112.9 10.226.133.219 add-route

clear IP nat trans

cle ip route *

Issue:

show ip route

Routing entry for 10.226.133.219/32
Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0
Redistributing via eigrp 99
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* 10.151.112.9
Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

!

I've also deleted and re-added the route for 10.151.112.0/24 and 10.226.133.0/24.  Verified the outside source static statement is gone when I do a show run. No change in status.

router is a ISR4321/K9 running bootflash:isr4300-universalk9.16.09.03.SPA.bin

any ideas short of reloading the router?

Hello,

--> Redistributing via eigrp 99

What EIGRP neighbors is this being redistributed to ? Chances are that it is coming back from there...

[JOSEPH GAYNOR]

The eigrp neighbors are not seeing the route.
The route table on the offending router lists the route as static
S 10.226.133.219/32 [1/0] via 10.151.112.9

Sh ip route static
clear ip nat trans * force

# cle ip nat trans * force

Force is not an option.

Hello,

what if you remove the 'ip nat outside' and 'ip nat inside' statements from all interfaces (temporarily of course) ?

[JOSEPH GAYNOR · Accepted solution]

First, let me thank you for your continuous feedback.
The NAT is not the issue. Actually the IP that was being NATed with that statement is no longer being NATed.
Traffic is running as it should, this just appears to be some sort of ghost entry in the routing table.
I was looking around in Cisco and found this: - not exactly my problem, but very close. I'm just not using the no-alias keyword.
