• vmware_nsx/ops/nat_route_mgmt.py:144-170 (handler)

  The actual implementation of the create_static_route logic, which interacts with the NSX API client.

      gateway_id: str,
      route_id: str,

      Args:
          client: Authenticated NSX API client.
          gateway_id: Gateway identifier (Tier-0 or Tier-1).
          route_id: Unique static route identifier.
          network: Destination CIDR (e.g., "10.0.0.0/8").
          next_hops: List of next-hop dicts, each containing:
              - ip_address (str): Next-hop IP address.
              - admin_distance (int, optional): Admin distance (default 1).
          gateway_type: Either "tier0" or "tier1" (default "tier1").
