Thank you very much Kevin!!! Let's say I assign a administrative distance
of 180 to a static route (backup route). It should not show up and be used
in "show ip route", given that the default route is active. If I
redistribute this static route (assigned with admin distance of 180) to the
EIGRP, will it still be in passive mode and won't overide the default route
on the EIGRP Autonomous System??? Again, Thanks alot!!!
