S network/masklength [AD/METRIC] how-connected, where AD is administrative
distance

by the administrative distance displayed in the routing table:
sample routing table:

S 10.1.1.0/24 [0/0] is directly connected, Serial 0
S 10.1.2.0 [1/0] via 10.1.20.1
S 10.1.3.0 [200/0] via 10.1.2.1

the corresponding routing statements in the configuration would be

! the default directly connected administrative distance is 0
 ip route 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 serial 0

! the default administrative distance  is 1 for a next-hop static route
 ip route 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.20.1

! when an administrative distance is indicated, it takes its place in the
routing table.  If the administrative distance is too low, it will override
dynamic routing protocols and not 'float'.  If there's another exactly
matching route in the RT with a lower AD, the static route won't be
displayed in the RT
 ip route 10.1.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.20.1 200
