And now all three routes are stuck in "inactive" state, this persists even if
I restart FRR.

Advice on how to debug this further would be greatly appreciated. As it
stands, FRR is proving far too brittle for me to put into production even in
the very basic use case I've got it deployed in now and I'm not sure why.

Thanks.

FRR knows about the next-hop:
