Configuring Floating Static Routes

Static and dynamic routes are the two components of floating static routes. Perform these steps to configure the static and dynamic routes on your router, beginning in global configuration mode:

	Command			Purpose
Step 1
	ip route prefix mask {ip-address interface-type			Assigns the primary static route.
	interface-number [ip-address]}
	Example:
	Router(config)#		ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
	22.0.0.2
	Router(config)#
Step 2
	ip route prefix mask {ip-address interface-type			Assigns the lower routing administrative distance
	interface-number [ip-address]} [distance]			value for the backup interface route. 192.168.2.2
				is the peer IP address of the backup interface.
	Example:
	Router(config)#		ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
	192.168.2.2	150
	Router(config)#
Step 3
	router rip			Enables RIP routing.
	Example:
	Router(config)#		router rip
	Router(config)#
Step 4
	network ip-address			Defines the primary interface network. 22.0.0.0 is
				the network value of the primary interface.
	Example:
	Router(config)#		network 22.0.0.0
	Router(config)#
Step 5
	ip route prefix mask {ip-address interface-type			Assigns the lower routing administrative distance
	interface-number [ip-address]} [distance]			value for the backup interface route. 192.168.2.2
				is the peer IP address of the backup interface.
	Example:
	Router(config)#		ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
	192.168.2.2	150
	Router(config)#

Note When dynamic routing is activated, the floating static route depends upon routing protocol convergence times.
