You can configure a static route on a tier-1 logical router to provide connectivity from NSX-T Data Center to a set of networks that are accessible through a virtual router.
For example, in the following diagram, the tier-1 A logical router has a downlink port to an NSX-T Data Center logical switch. This downlink port (172.16.40.1) serves the default gateway for the virtual router VM. The virtual router VM and tier-1 A are connected through the same NSX-T Data Center logical switch. The tier-1 logical router has a static route 10.10.0.0/16 that summarizes the networks available through the virtual router. Tier-1 A then has route advertisement configured to advertise the static route to tier-1 B.
Recursive static routes are supported.
