# The routing daemon (routed) fails to start when a VTI is configured with a local IP address that matches the next-hop address used in the static route configuration

**Product**: Security Gateways  
**Version**: R81.10 (EOS), R81.20, R82  
**OS**: Gaia  
**Last Modified**: 2025-04-20

## Symptoms

- Running the command "`show ospf interfaces`" in clish returns an error: "`RTGRTG0019 Routing daemon is busy`".
- When running the "`ps aux | grep -v grep | grep routed`" command, only one `routed` process appears, while there must be two `routed` processes in a non-VSX environment.
- The "`show vpn tunnel`" command shows a local IP address that matches the next-hop IP address in the static-route configuration.

## Cause

The issue is caused by the configuration conflict where:

- A static route is configured with a specific next-hop IP address.
- A  Virtual Tunnel Interface (VTI) is then created using that same IP address as its local IP address.

This creates a circular reference that prevents the routing service from starting correctly.
