Meaning
The sample output shows that all interfaces on R6 are up. The output from R2 shows that a static route [Static/5] configured on R2 points to R6 (10.1.26.2) and is the preferred route to R5 because of its low preference value. However, the route is looping from R2 to R6, as indicated by the missing reference to R5 (10.1.15.2).
