It is interesting. I have FreeBSD 4.8 system A running routed(8).
It has one static route also. I did not know about -hopcount,
did not use it so routed(8) did not advertise it. A core router B
has another static route to A and that net lives with this.

Now I've added -hopcount to this static route on A
and 'routed -s' started to announce this route.
My /etc/gateway containg:

ripv2
rdisc_interval=45
no_ag
no_super_ag
redirect_ok

And mentioned route is /24.
