I have ran the command Network route show and Network route show-lifs,

Please check the screenshot attached for more details.

Hello,

In fact you cannot add route to a specific LIF, you need to add route to the vserver

Hello Atish,

Cedric is right, you cannot associate a lif to a static route, you must do it to a vserver.

network route show: it shows the associations between a static route and the Vservers.
network route show-lifs: it shows the association between a static route and the lifs.

The reason behind this is that all LIFs in a Vserver must be able to access the same paths in the network.
