Well the question is very simple. How does your system get the routes? There are 3 ways: 1. Static routes at boot time. Once gone, they never come back. 2. Dynamic routes installed by a running "routed". Right idea, wrong program. routed is "depricated". 3. Dynamic routes installed a running "gated", you got it, but gated is not configured properly.
