  • Affected version set to 2.1

While it shows disabled in the GUI, a disabled route does not actually get removed from the OS if it's already been added.

Jim I didnt test with v6 so was wondering if your testing was for v6. v4 seems to work for me:

I added a route 8.8.8.8/32 and made sure it was enabled:

Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
default            192.168.1.18       UGS         0     3083    em0
8.8.8.8/32         192.168.1.18       UGS         0        0    em0
127.0.0.1          link#4             UH          0      101    lo0
192.168.1.0/24     link#1             U           0   481367    em0
192.168.1.183      link#1             UHS         0        0    lo0
192.168.51.0/24    link#2             U           0        0    em1
192.168.51.1       link#2             UHS         0        0    lo0

Then disabled it through the GUI

I don't recall how I was testing previously. On a current snapshot though, an IPv4 route does disappear when it is disabled.

An IPv6 route does not disappear when disabled like it should. So this appears to be specific to IPv6 now.

I have tested and this is working as expected. I added an IPV6 route and then removed it. Routing table had it when it was in place and then it was gone when I deleted the route.
