[j-nsp] Static routing Cisco - juniper

[Yuki Arif (JA/EID)]

Hello,
 
I am newbie in Juniper router.
 
I read in this link about static routing in cisco.
 
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Routers/Q_20890957.html <http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Routers/Q_20890957.html> 
 
It uses distance parameter to install preffered static routing into routing table. Is this available in Juniper router (M10, M20)?

Hello,

I am using a Cisco <http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Routers/Q_20890957.html#>  2600 router <http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Routers/Q_20890957.html#> 

I have added two static routes

ip <http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Routers/Q_20890957.html#>  route 194.5.35.18 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.3 permanent
ip route 194.5.35.18 255.255.255.255 172.20.10.3 permanent

How can I add higher weight or priority for route 2 over route 1?  I read that you can use a metric command but I am unsure of how to apply it to each route.

Thank you.

You can add a lower administrative distance on the one you want to be used first.  You should not use the permanent keyword as it will remain in the routing <http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Routers/Q_20890957.html#>  table even if that interface goes down.

ip route 194.5.35.18 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.3 10  <-----administrative distance (lowest will be added to routing table first)
ip route 194.5.35.18 255.255.255.255 172.20.10.3 20  <-----will be added to the routing table if the first route is removed/interface goes down
