The administrative distance to associate with this static route. Routes with lower distances are preferred. By default, static routes are created with an administrative distance of 1, meaning they are preferred over all routes except directly connected routes. Setting a higher administrative distance for a route can be used for the following reasons: - by configuring multiple static routes to the same destination, one with the default distance and one with a higher distance, one can configure backup static routes - by configuring a static route with an administrative distance higher than the distance for a particular dynamic routing protocol, one can allow a static route to be overridden by dynamic routing information. Routes with an administrative distance of 255 will never be entered in the routing table.
