VRF IP Route Error: Interface must be point-to-point

[jason.loomans]

Hi.  I'm configuring a second VRF on a Nexus 5596UP to troubleshoot jumbo frames between devices.  A VLAN interface has been configured and I'd like the pings to egress out that interface.  This is the config for the vlan:

interface vlan200

vrf member iscsi

ip address 172.20.9.254/24

vrf context iscsi

  ip route 172.20.9.0/24 172.20.9.254

When I try to configure the vrf, I am assigning the static route 0.0.0.0/0 vlan 200, I get the error "Interface must be a point-to-point."  What does this mean?  How is this properly configured?

Hi Jason,

Why you need the route ? From your configuration, it seems that the route on the same network on vlan 200

vrf context iscsi

ip route 172.20.9.0/24 172.20.9.254

The route already directly connected, I think you don't need any route to the same segment

Thanks,

Gofi

Thank you for your response.  It turns out the route was not needed for the application.
