Issue

Enhancement to add validation for routing when adding a new record.
When creating a new route record the metric is not a required parameter, default 20.
The metric should be a required parameter with validation that will show an alert if the destination and metric are the same, indicating that these settings can cause a problem.
 
::> route show -vserver SVM-NAS
Vserver             Destination     Gateway         Metric
------------------- --------------- --------------- ------
SVM-NAS
                    0.0.0.0/0       192.168.10.1      20
                    0.0.0.0/0       192.168.200.1    20
::> network route create -vserver SVM-NAS -destination 0.0.0.0/0 -gateway 172.25.2.1
Success
