FIGURE 16 Standard and null static routes to the same destination network
Figure 17 shows another example of two static routes. In this example, a standard static route and
an interface-based static route are configured for destination network 192.168.6.0/24. The
interface-based static route has a lower metric than the standard static route. As a result, the
Virtual ADX always prefers the interface-based route when the route is available. However, if the
interface-based route becomes unavailable, the Virtual ADX still forwards the traffic toward the
destination using an alternate route through gateway 192.168.8.11/24.
