Static route is configured with AD value 254 but no route in the routing table

[olly ahmed]

I see a route is configured in my router "ip route 10.112.129.64 255.255.255.240 10.64.128.86 254 name ABC" but I did not find any route for that subnet. Can anyone explain this things why it is happening. Below log is FYI.

R1#show running-config | i 10.112.129.64
ip route 10.112.129.64 255.255.255.240 10.64.128.86 254 name ABC

R1#show ip route 10.112.129.64
% Subnet not in table

Hello

That obviously is a static route with an admin distance of 254 point to a nexthop address of 10.64.128.86

Now if you don't have a route to this nexthop in the rib table or its not a connected interface then this static route wont be entered into the rib and wont show up
