I was watchin some rip class today and in the excersice it was a router connected to other 3 routers. ok so he wanted this the R1 knows 3 paths to the same destination 1 via rip and 2 via static but he told us ok if the Rip route fails any static route must replace it .ok
but static Admistrative distance is 1 so i thought the router should pick the static over the Rip route no viceversa so should i configure AD of rip to 0 to surpass Static right.

You can create a Floating Static Route to "backup" the dynamic protocols.
You'd actually set the Administrative Distance on the backup Floating Static Route to a value higher than the value of the Administrative Distance of the Dynamic Routing Protocol.:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set! -

Longest match rules all, so it could have been a less specific static that would be used if the RIP route was lost.
Just theorizing here. -

Well, duh. At this level, unless explicitly called out in a given example I think we can assume that the match lengths are identical when it comes to explaining how AD works in choice of routes.
