Static routes do not have "metrics" as dynamic routes do. You are correct in stating that the route with the lower administrative distance is installed in the routing table. If your static has a lower distance than the learned route the static will be used. If you have 2 routes that have the exact same destination prefix the one with lower admin distance is installed in the routing table. If you need the static route there as a backup give an admin distance higher than 90. That way once the route goes down the static route will be installed in the routing table.

[7:50108] Is there a way to configure a metric to a static route? One can configure the administrative distance. I have a situation where i want to have 2 routes in the routing table , one learned by eigrp and the other a static one the problem is even if i configure the ad of the static with 90 , only the static is installed in the routing table because it has a lower metric than the eigrp learned one thanks - Diego Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=50123&t=50108 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
