Todd,

     A standard static route has an administrative distance of 1, meaning
directly connected. A floating static route is a route that has its
administrative distance set higher than any other route (static or
dynamic). Hence that route will not be used (floating) unless the route
with a lower administrative distance goes away.

I know that Static Routes have a higher priority than routes learned
dynamically.  I've also learned that the exception to this rule is that
floating static routes can take a back seat to dynamic routes.  (Please
feel
free to beat me about the head if I'm wrong on this one.  It will only help
me in the long run!)

Here's my question:

If I'm looking at the routing table in a router that I did not configure,
how can I know that a static route is a floating static route and not just
a
"run-o-the-mill" static route?

Thx
