Modifying static routes results in a logged error, changes are not reflected in routing table
Added by Roland Volkmann about 3 years ago.
Updated about 2 years ago.
Plus Target Version:
22.01
Affected Architecture:
All
Description
When modifying an existing static route, e.g. changing subnet to be routed, the modified route is added to the current routing table instead of replacing the existing route. To get the correct routing table, you have to reboot pfSense.
Example:
Have an existing static route "Destination = 10.0.0.0/8, Gateway = 10.100.0.1, Flags = UGS, netif = hn0", then modify the Destination to 10.0.0.0/24 by GUI "System/Routing/Static Routes", and you will find two entries in routing table (on GUI "Diagnostics/Routes" or on shell "netstat -rn"): The original one and a new one "Destination = 10.0.0.0/24, Gateway = 10.100.0.1, Flags = UGS, netif = hn0".
- Affected Version changed from 2.5.x to 2.5.0
see also #7547
we need to keep a cache of the currently applied static routes to compare against when editing/updating
- Status changed from New to Pull Request Review
- Target version set to CE-Next
- Plus Target Version set to Plus-Next
Tested this on
22.01.a.20211108.0600.
- Deleting a static route does not prompt for an "Apply Changes" confirmation.
- Deleting a static route entry does not remove it from the route table.
- Removing an entry from a network IP alias being used in a static route entry does not remove it from the route table.
- Changing an entry from a network IP alias being used in a static route entry adds the new route but does not delete the old one.
