Branch-2's LAN is unreachable: static route missing

HQ router has a static route to Branch-2's LAN 10.2.0.0/24 via 10.0.0.6 in the running-config, but it's missing from show ip route. The exit interface Gi0/1 toward the next-hop is administratively down, so the static won't install. Diagnose and recover.

Objectives

○Gi0/1 is up (no shutdown)
○Static route to 10.2.0.0/24 present in show ip route

Hints

Hint 1, what to check first

Hint 2, full sequence

enable
configure terminal
 interface gi0/1
  no shutdown
  end
show ip route
