Configure a Floating Route

Multiple routes are available to the same destination network. The output interfaces or gateway addresses of the routes are different, and the priorities of the routes are also different. The route with the higher priority becomes the primary route while the route with the lower priority becomes the floating route. In the routing table, only the primary route is visible. The floating table appears in the routing table only when the primary route becomes invalid. Therefore, the floating route is usually used as a backup route.
