Routes to an interface have a Admin distance of 0 (Connected)
Routes to an ip have a Admin distance of 1 (Static)
>ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0.1 1
>ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.201.0.74 1
In theory, ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0.1 1, should be more efficient
because it forwards the packet directly to the next router, whereas, ip
route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0.1 1, will put an ARP request on the serial
line. The Packet still makes it either way, but the route to an IP is
(minimally) faster.
>ip route 10.48.2.0 255.255.255.0 ethernet0
If I'm understanding correctly, The router already sees this network as
connected. This statement would be redundant and unneccessary. (Unless you
were redistributing static routes, but that's a different keg o' worms.)

Subject: Multiple default gateways, same result?
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2000 15:28:46 -0500
Hey all,
For study purposes I have configured a 'remote' router (Cisco 2501) with
the following:
E0: 10.48.2.1 255.255.255.0
S0.1: 10.201.0.73 255.255.255.252 point-to-point (FR @ 128K CIR)
The 'corporate' router (Cisco 3640) is configured as follows:
E0: 10.1.1.2 255.255.0.0
S0/0.1: 10.201.0.74 255.255.255.252 point-to-point (FR)
I would like to assign the default gateway for the remote router as
follows:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0.1 1
I was wondering how this differs from using:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.201.0.74 1
In addition, what advantage/disadvantages might I reap if I also configure
the 'remote' with the following line:
ip route 10.48.2.0 255.255.255.0 ethernet0
Are there any potential problems with the above line?
Thank you,
