You've created an interface with an IP of 172.30.0.3 with a netmask of 255.255.0.0, that means you've told the system that 172.30.0.3 can reach all 65534 host WITHOUT a router. Then you trying to override that by adding a route by claiming that the other 65533 (every host except for this one) is reachable only via a router. That's not really a valid configuration in my book so it's doesn't really surprise me.
Are you able to make this work by manually adding the route? Are you able to post the "router" config. What networks is this "router" actually routing.
