Hello Experts,

in a router ,

int gig 0/0
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

int gig 0/1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

ip route 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.2

and i see an arp learned from the int gig 0/0 for 192.168.0.100
the cef table points to the static route pointing to the gig0/1

my question is what is the order of preference when building the cef ?
It seems like router uses the /32 route instead of the ARP entry.

is there a way we could forced the router to use the ARP entry instead of
the /32 ?

and the same question if a /32 route exists to null0 , and the router has
an arp entry for the same host.
