This article provides the solution for the issue faced while creating a VIP Object entry.

It is possible to see an error message 'duplicate entry already exists', even if there are no other VIP objects created.

Scope

Creating a VIP object, you may encounter the below error:

Go to Policy & Objects -> Virtual IPs -> Create New -> Virtual IP, make the necessary entries, and select 'OK'.

Solution

Be advised, in such scenarios, the IPs enterd would be a gateway for one of the static routes that already exist.

it is possible to bypass this error only by changing the gateway IP of the static route or by deleting that static route.
