I hope someone can help me with a problem I am having with static routes 
on the LiveCD version of Xorp 1.4.  I have the following simple 
configuration file:

interfaces {
    restore-original-config-on-shutdown: false
    interface xl0 {
        disable: false
        discard: false
        description: "LAN 1"
        vif xl0 {
            disable: false
            address 192.168.10.99 {
                prefix-length: 24
                broadcast: 192.168.10.255
                disable: false
            }
        }
    }
    interface xl1 {
        disable: false
        discard: false
        description: "LAN 2"
        vif xl1 {
            disable: false
            address 192.168.20.100 {
                prefix-length: 24
                broadcast: 192.168.20.255
                disable: false
            }
        }
    }
    interface lo0 {
        disable: false
        discard: false
        description: "Loopback interface"
        vif lo0 {
            disable: false
        }
    }
}

protocols {
        static {
              route 192.168.30.0/24 {
                        next-hop: 192.168.10.100
                        metric: 1
                }
        }
}

fea {
    unicast-forwarding4 {
        disable: false
    }
}

Communication between hosts on the two directly connected networks 
192.168.10.0/24 and 192.168.20.0/24 works fine, but packets to the 
192.168.30.0/24 network are not forwarded to 192.168.10.100. The command 
'show route table .....' returns a completely empty table. What have I 
got wrong?
Thanks for any help,

Alan
