Add a Static Route to a Cisco Router
Posted by Quinn McHenry in Cisco router
A static route adds an entry to the routing table for a specific destination IP address or subnet.
To route traffic to the 10.10.20.0/24 subnet through the IP address 192.168.100.1:
conf t
ip route 10.10.20.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1
The netmask 255.255.255.0 means the same as the subnet/24 notation.

Yea, it’s called Administrative Distance. The route may not be “better” but more believable to the router itself. You can manually input that or it will be learned dynamically.

stfu. The best way to learn is to do it yourself. If you break it, you will learn that much better because you will never forget what you did to fix it, and that knowledge will carry on into future projects.
