Regression #16407
closed
Editing an alias used in static routes does not correctly update the routing table
100%
Description
This issue is similar to this redmine: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7547
In order to test:
1. Create an Alias
2. Assign the Alias as the Destination Network for a Static Route.
3. Verify the Alias entries are in the routing table.
4. Edit the Alias without modifying the Static Route
5. Any added or removed entries will not be present and the old alias data is used for the routing table
This appears to be a regression at some point. Tested on 25.07.1.

Is a reboot necessary to get the routing table updated with the new alias definition? Or is simply editing the alias (making no changes) and re-saving sufficient?

Answering my own question: editing the alias and re-saving both the alias and the static route does NOT fix the routing table. It appears that a full reboot is still necessary (tested on 25.11.r.20251118.1708 RC)

Tested on latest 26.03 snapshot. Confirmed Resolved.
There was also a warning added to the Alias page stating that it's being used in a static route, so the routing table will be reloaded.
Marking Resolved.
