About routes in a single NIC configuration
If you want to configure a static route that relies on a gateway in the same subnet as the self IP address, you must first disable the setting that enforces single NIC setup:
modify sys db provision.1nicautoconfig value disableConfirm that the value is correct by typing list sys db provision.1nicautoconfig.
The return value should be disable.
If you do not change this value, any time you reboot BIG-IP VE, the manually-configured static route will cause validation errors during load sys config.
