Without an interface is fine.  The only real distinction is whether you
used the "-ifp" option in /sbin/route.  The in.routed daemon always
specifies an interface, but humans often do not.

"Out only" makes a lot more sense for a device in this situation, but I
have no clue why it thinks it should redistribute 24.0/8 when it seems
to be configured to do NAT.  That just makes no sense at all.

NATs should not admit they know anything about the networks on the other
side, and should generally only send out "default" (0/0) routes to peers
on the 'inside' part of the network.

It sounds like this device is doing something different.  If it is
properly configured for NAT, then I'd have to guess that it's just not
designed right.

*shrug*  It happens.

I'm afraid I'm not an expert on that device.
