Description

I was adding static route on disabled interface and got the following message:
The following input errors were detected:
The gateway "10.66.0.99" is a different Address Family than network "10.66.10.0".

As you can see from the message itself, network and gateway are in the same family. I've tracked that down to the skipping of disabled interfaces in return_gateways_array function.
Possible solutions:
  • change error message to something like: "The gateway "10.66.0.99" is a different Address Family than network "10.66.10.0" or interface disabled"
  • remove skipping of disabled interfaces
  • automatically disable gateways on disabled interfaces
