Static route & floating Static route



Cisco


ip route next-hop address => admin distance of 1
ip route local exit interface => admin distance of 0 like connected interface

e.g. on R1 router
ip route 10.10.30.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.20.2 or
ip route 10.10.30.0 255.255.255.0 s0

** Adding the permanent keyword to a static route statement will keep the static routes in the routing table even if the interface goes down 

floating static route (Backup route)
ip route 10.10.30.0 255.255.255.0 s0
ip route 10.10.30.0 255.255.255.0 s0 91

when running eigrp which has a default AD of 90, eigrp route will appear in routing table and only when that route goes down will the floating static route appear. Serves as a backup route.
