Hi All,

I ran into a scenario below and I am not sure what path router A will choose
to reach the destination network, 10.50.0.0 / 255.255.0.0, on router B.

                  10.1.1.1 / 255.255.0.0
                              |
    ----------S0- Router A-S1-------------
    |                                                            |
    |                                                            |
    |                                                            |
    |                                                            |
    ----------S0-Router B- S1--------------
                              |
              E0 = 10.50.1.1 / 255.255.0.0

---------------------------------------------------------------
Router A configuration:
    Interface serial 0
        ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
        no shut

    Interface Serial 1
        ip address 172.16.2.1 255.255.255.0
        no shut

    Interface Ethernet 0
        ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.0.0

    EIGRP 200
        network 172.16.1.0
        network 10.0.0.0
        no auto-summary

    ip classless
    ip route 10.48.0.0 255.224.0.0 serial 1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Router B configuration
    Interface serial 0
        ip address 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.0
        no shut

    Interface Serial 1
        ip address 172.16.2.2 255.255.255.0
        no shut

    Interface Ethernet 0
        ip address 10.50.1.1 255.255.0.0
        no shut

    EIGRP 200
        network 172.16.1.0
        network 172.16.2.0
        network 10.0.0.0
        no auto-summary
----------------------------------------------------------

In this scenario, I assume router B knows how to reach 10.1.1.1 using both
serial ports with EIGRP (administrative distance = 90).  Router A has two
paths to reach 10.50.1.1 destination:  1st path is learned through EIGRP
with administrative distance of 90; the 2nd path is with the static route
with network 10.48.0.0 and subnet mask of 255.224.0.0 or 12 bits.  If I am
not wrong, 10.48.0.0 / 255.224.0.0 will cover a range of IP addresses from
10.48.0.0 to 10.63.255.255; therefore, 10.50.1.1 falls into this scope.

If I do the "show ip route",  I will see both routes 10.50.0.0 / 16 and
10.48.0.0 / 12.

My questions are:

1.  With those 2 paths to reach 10.50.1.1, which path Router A will choose
as a primary path?
2.  If the path between 2 serial 0 of the 2 routers is down, Can router A
reach 10.50.1.1 on router B with such a static route?

Thanks All!
