• preference - Specifies the preference value, a.k.a administrative distance, of an individual static route. (Range: 1-255) Default Configuration Default value of preference is 1. Command Mode Global Configuration mode User Guidelines For routed management traffic: 1 Router entries are checked for applicable destinations. 2 The globally assigned default-gateway is consulted. Router entries take precedence over an assigned default-gateway. Example The following example identifies the next-hop-ip and a preference value of 200. console(config)#ip route 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.20.1 200 ip route distance Use the ip route distance command in Global Configuration mode to set the default distance (preference) for static routes. Lower route preference values are preferred when determining the best route. The ip route and ip route default commands allow optional setting of the distance of an individual static route. The default distance is used when no distance is specified in these commands. Changing the default distance does not update the distance of existing static routes, even if they were assigned the original default distance. The new default distance are applied to static routes created after invoking the ip route distance command. Syntax ip route distance integer IP Routing Commands 725
