Hello all,
I have set-up two static routes as follows:
ip route 100.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 Ethernet1
ip route 100.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 20.2.1.2
The second static route (with a next hop IP of 20.2.1.2) uses a serial link. Am I right in saying that only the top route should appear in the routing table? I thought that a static route with an exit interface specified used an admin distance of 0, and a static route with a next hop IP specified used an admin distance of 1 - therefore, I thought only the top route would appear, but it doesn't!
To confirm this I ran a debug as follows:
Router#debug ip ?
routing Routing table events
Router#debug ip routing
IP routing debugging is on
Router#clear ip route *
00:33:34: RT: add 100.0.0.0/8 via 0.0.0.0, static metric [1/0]
00:33:34: RT: add 100.0.0.0/8 via 20.2.1.2, static metric [1/0]
Router#show ip route
S 100.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, Ethernet1
[1/0] via 20.2.1.2
As the debug output shows, both routes appear with a admin dis/metric of 1/0 when I thought one should be 0/0 and one should be 1/0. Also the 'show ip route' shows both routes in the routing table instead of one.
Anyone know whats going on?
Dazzler.
