Configure the Default Administrative Distance

The smaller the administrative distance that is specified for a static route in configuring the static route is, the higher the priority of the route is. If the administrative distance is not specified, the default administrative distance is used. You can modify the default administrative distance dynamically. After the default administrative distance is re-configured, the new default administrative distance is valid only for new static routes.

  When you use the ip route command to configure a static route, you can specify an independent administrative distance for the route. If you do not specify the administrative distance, the default administrative distance is used.
