default route and dynamic route?
|
|
|
| Hi,if in a router's routing table exist a default route and some dynamic routes,do these dynamic routes never be used?we know the default route has a AD of 1,just like a static route.right?but i think the default route is used only when a router have no route(static or dynamic) to a network.please help. | |

| One thing to consider is that the router uses the longest match rule. AD isn't always the best answer. With the address 172.16.2.3 for example and your choices were
172.16.2.0 /24*** AD 100
172.16.0.0 /16 AD 90
0.0.0.0
The router would choose the first one because it is closer to the actual address you are looking for.
The default route would only be used if there was no way to the network that you specified.
