Floating Static Routes
Floating Static Routes allow you the ability to create a backup route.
You accomplish this by manipulating the default administrative distance of the Static Route.
c
By default, the router assigns a static route an administrative distance of 1.
When you want to configure a backup route, you configure it with a higher administrative
distance so that it does not get inserted into the routing table unless the preferred route is
down.
• R1, R2 & R3 should have reachability to all networks in the diagram based on
shortest Next-hop. c
• Configure load balancing wherever you have equal number of hops.
• Configure a Default Route on R4 towards R3 to reach all the networks in the
diagram.
