Hello,<br />
<br />
I am using a Cisco 2600 router<br />
<br />
I have added two static routes<br />
<br />
ip route 194.5.35.18 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.3 permanent<br />
ip route 194.5.35.18 255.255.255.255 172.20.10.3 permanent<br />
<br />
How can I add higher weight or priority for route 2 over route 1? &nbsp;I read that you can use a metric command but I am unsure of how to apply it to each route.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

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.

Static Route Metric

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
