EIGRP with a static route

[Ibrahim Jamil]

Hi Netpro

when y configure EIGRP as ur routing protocol, why y add a static route pointing to next-Hop?

Thanks

If all your networks are part of EIGRP, then you should not need static routes.

Can you post the config?

Hi Riza

I Have seen many config mix both static and eigrp although all networks are part of eigrp process

Hi,

maybe these were floating static routes( with an AD > 90).

But without the config it's hard to tell.

Regards.

I may like to add to the 2 correct answers above.

EiGRP does equal load balancing by default, up to 4 paths. Some configuration uses static routes to direct traffic from certain subnet over a choosen path and not let EIGRP choose the path for that traffic.

Hope it helps

We use static route to access some other route in other's network which isn't related to our network. I saw many people then redistribute them in their network.
