Hi Folks,
Can we configure multiple static routes to same destination with different next hop address ?
If yes then which path router will select ?
Thanks in advance

this is done by giving the backup static route a higher AD than the primary (1 by default) you just append a value at the end of the route command between 1 - 255
ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 98.11.1.1 1
ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 98.11.1.5 2
so the second route will show up in the routing table when the primary goes down.ICND1 - Passed 25/01/10
ICND2 - Passed 9/03/10
