Not quite true A static route can have an admin distance of 0 or 1 as default
If configured to point a local exit interface it will have an AD of 0 and be seen by the routing table as directly connected. If configured to point to a next hop address then it has an AD of 1.In this case it will be seen in the routing table as a static route rather than directly connected. regards Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 3:34 PM Subject: Re: Static Routes vs. Dynamic Routes [7:25059] > Todd, > > A standard static route has an administrative distance of 1, meaning > directly connected.
