Why would a floating static route be configured with an AD that is higher than the AD of a dynamic routing protocol that is running on the same router?
- To act as a gateway of last resort
- To be the priority route in the routing table
- To be used as a backup route
- To load-balance the traffic
Explanation: By default, dynamic routing protocols have a higher AD than static routes. Configuring a static route with a higher AD than that of the dynamic routing protocol will result in the dynamic route being used instead of the static route. However, should the dynamically learned route fail, then the static route will be used as a backup.
