Notes

Route preference is a value assigned to routing information sources. The more preferred a routing source is, the lower the route preference value is.

This is the same thing as ‘Administrative Distance’, although each vendor uses different values.

If a route is learned from two sources (for example, from OSPF and from a static route), then the route with the lowest route preference will be active.

 

A static route can be configured with a qualified next hop. This is where a non-standard route preference is assigned.

This is like a floating static route; Where a static route is configured, but not active unless there’s some sort of failure.
