Take Appropriate Action

Problem

The appropriate action depends on the type of problem you have isolated. In this example, a static route configured on R2 is deleted from the [routing-options] hierarchy level. Other appropriate actions might include the following:

Solution

Check the local router’s configuration and edit it if appropriate.
Troubleshoot the intermediate router.
Check the remote host configuration and edit it if appropriate.
Troubleshoot routing protocols.
Identify additional possible causes.

To resolve the problem in this example, enter the following Junos OS CLI commands:

[edit] user@R2# delete routing-options static route destination-prefix user@R2# commit and-quit user@R2# show route destination-prefix

Sample Output

[edit]
user@R2# delete routing-options static route 10.0.0.5/32 

[edit]
user@R2# commit and-quit 
commit complete
Exiting configuration mode

user@R2> show route 10.0.0.5

inet.0: 22 destinations, 24 routes (22 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

10.0.0.5/32        *[BGP/170] 3d 20:26:17, MED 5, localpref 100
                      AS path: 65001 I
                    > to 10.1.12.1 via so-0/0/0.0

Meaning

The sample output shows the static route deleted from the [routing-options] hierarchy and the new configuration committed. The output for the show route command now shows the BGP route as the preferred route, as indicated by the asterisk (*).
