Specify route preferences You can configure the default preference for each protocol, for example, 60 for static routes or 120 for RIP. These values are arbitrary values in the range from 1 to 255 and are independent of route metrics. Most routing protocols use a route metric to determine the shortest path known to the protocol, independent of any other protocol. The best route to a destination is chosen by selecting the route with the lowest preference value. If multiple routes exist to a destination, the preference values are used to determine the preferred route. If there is still a tie, the route with the best route metric is chosen. To avoid problems with mismatched metrics such as protocols that are not directly comparable, you must configure different preference values for each of the protocols. To specify route preferences 1.
