Specify route preferences

You can configure the default preference for each protocol, for example, 60 for static
routes or 120 for RIP. These values are arbitrary values in the range from 1 to 255 and
are independent of route metrics. Most routing protocols use a route metric to determine
the shortest path known to the protocol, independent of any other protocol.

The best route to a destination is chosen by selecting the route with the lowest preference
value. If multiple routes exist to a destination, the preference values are used to
determine the preferred route. If there is still a tie, the route with the best route metric
is chosen. To prevent problems with mismatched metrics such as protocols that are not
directly comparable, you must configure different preference values for each of the
protocols.
