Step 3: Take Appropriate Action

Purpose

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:

• 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.

Action

To resolve the problem in this example, enter the following JUNOS 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

What It Means

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 (*).
