That's only partially correct. There are 2 kinds of static routes: One
that points to next hop L3 address which have an AD of 1, or one that
points out the exit interface which have an AD of 0.

But I'm in agreement with you in that I can't understand a reason why
you'd want (need) to do this, unless your Dilbert-esque upper management
requires it because they read about it in some industry magazine or
something... LOL

A static route has an AD of 1. A directly connected interface has a AD
of 0, so the directly connected interface would always win.

I am curious as to why you would want to do this as well. I can't fathom
a reason, so I'm sure that some Sr. Exec. Has requested you do this :)

Thanks

Can you explain WHY you need to do this? There may be some tricks we
can do with host routes and policy routing. However understanding the
problem may result in a more elegant and optimal solution. Like NAT or
ICMP redirects. So if you can give us the "play by play" start with
where a packet will be sourced and where it's ultimate destination is.

Hello,

            I need to put a static route into an 8540, however it's next
hop ip address is in the same network
I am routing to. Example -- ip route 198.64.10.0 255.255.255.0
198.64.10.1 Does anyone know if this is possible?

Jerry
