your partly right but it is only for AD up to 254...

(Cisco Press-Website)
An administrative distance is a rating of the trustworthiness of a routing
information source, such as an individual router or a group of routers.
Numerically, an administrative distance is an integer between 0 and 255. In
general, the higher the value, the lower the trust rating. An administrative
distance of 255 means the routing information source cannot be trusted at
all and should be ignored.

I believe when you add the 255 you are changing the administrative distance
to create a floating static route.  If you had a route learned by EIGRP for
instance with an administrative distance of 90 and the floating static route
with a distance of 255, the route learned by EIGRP would be used until the
link goes down.  When the EIGRP route is down, the floating static route
will take over.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Refresh me...

What happens to a static route that has a cost of 255 at the end. It gets
discarded right ?

ip route 198.207.193.11 255.255.255.255 205.253.192.246 255
