Hi Munit,
Let assume you put both coomands say:
1. IP route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.0.1
2. IP route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 FE1
since the AD of 1 is 1 and that of 2 is 0, option 2 will be the prefered
route
for any routing activity to network 172.16.0.1. The route defined by option 1
will be a floating route to the same network, it will not be in your rotuing
table. Remember the routing rule, 'Only prefered routes are selected and
inserted into the routing table" option one will only show in the routing
table if by some means option become unavailable or fails.
Try then on your router and see. If you enter both commands on ur router and
implement 'Sh ip route' you will only see the route defined by option 2,
however if you remove the option 2 command, the route defined by option 1
will
surface in your 'sh ip route'
I hope this will help you.
Regards.

Hi Godswill,
Thanx for reply.I agree with u,but Still the doubt persists if both the
commands are used then both entries come to the route table.As per your and
mine theory also only better administrative distance should come into the
route table,but here both are introduced into the route table ,as it seems it
has administrative distance of 1 for default gateway of its own
interface(obviosly zero is preffered then one)?
Why both entries in route table.
As confusion is creating from different answers so please reply ,so that
all
confusions are over.
Regards,

Hi,
Static routes can either have the AD of 1 or 0 depending on the way you
add
them to your router.
e.g lates RouterA interface FE0=192.168.0.1/27 and it is connected to
RouterB FE1=192.168.0.2/27 & FE3=10.1.0.1/24.
To define route to 10.1.0.1/24 on RouterA you have two methods.
1. RouterA# IP route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.2 (AD=1)
2. RouterA#IP route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 FE0 (AD=0)
If both commands are entered option 2 will be the prefered route.
So you are correct, choose the one you prefer, it also depends whether
you
want to do load balancing, floating static route, etc...
