Question:

Why is my configured Static Route not taking effect when a Policy Route is also present?

Answer:

Based on the Packet Flow Explorer routing hierarchy, a Policy Route has a higher evaluation priority than a Static Route. If a Policy Route's matching criteria (such as source subnet or incoming interface) overlap with your Static Route, the traffic will be intercepted and processed by the Policy Route first.
