Route redistribution with rip and igrp

topstar

Hi
Im practicing setting up rip and igrp at the minute. I have 4 routers and would like some information on setting up rip or igrp with static routes with redistribution as a back up line.
I want to set up the 4 routers with igrp or rip and have extra cables so I would like to have a backup line encase my main line goes down (actually for when I sabotage it)
I would like to have this backup line as a static route and to be advertised by rip when the main line goes down (redistribution static?)
Could someone please explain to me exactly how I would go about this please be as specific as possible with the commands i would need on the two routers with the backup line.
Also I have done this before but just with the static route command and just give it a higher Ad than rip but not with the redistribute command and although it worked the line was always up (but not in the routing table until the main line went down ) is there any way to do this and keep the line down until it is needed then it could bring itself up. It will just be a normal serial line.

Thanks
Stephen

r1
interface $INTERFACE
bandwidth 128 128
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
standby 10 ip 10.10.10.254 10.10.10.254

r2
interface $INTERFACE
bandwidth 1500 1500
ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
standby 10 priority 150 150 preempt delay 10 10
standby 10 ip 10.10.10.254 10.10.10.254
standby 10 track serial 0 60

and so on and so forth. You could always throw some security in the loop and use crypto maps then try out reverse-route More than likely though, stick with a variation of above
