Cisco Routing - Periodic downloaded static route

[kish02]

Hi Cisco Community,

what is P - periodic downloaded static route means in routing table?

I have set two static routes, the other one with higher AD. It should show the route with the default AD of 1 in the routing table but it shows the other one with higher AD and with a P (periodic static route) indicator. Can someone help me understand this. Thank you.

Hi @kish02 ,

Routes with a P in the "show ip route" output are routes that are dynamically configured through radius server attributes. 

If this route is selected despite the higher admin distance, it is probably that the static route with a default administrative distance is invalid. Is the other static route next hop resolvable?

thank you for your response. yes the next hop is active and pingable

Hi @kish02 ,

It would be very useful to see the following:

show ip route <prefix/prefix length>

for the specific route. 

show runn | sec ip route

P meaning yoh ger this route from AAA server durong authz

But authz for what?

Are you use same for rourer usernames/password for client that connects via VPN?

It can you login to rourer and aaa push this defualt route to your router. 

Can I see aaa config?

I see, it can be my ASA device which has the AAA config that advertises the P routes to my router.
