Question

A stormwater bureau learns the same prefix from OSPF and from a floating static route. Which path installs in the RIB under default administrative distances?

Accepted Answer

The OSPF route installs because its default administrative distance is better than a typical floating static’s elevated distance — Administrative distance is the trust score on the route report card. OSPF’s default score beats a floating static that’s intentionally hiked to 210 or similar. Keep the static in the back pocket for blackouts; let OSPF own the prefix while it’s healthy.

Answer

The floating static always wins because static routes beat every IGP

Answer

Both routes install equally and CEF per-packet sprays across them

Answer

Neither installs until BGP also advertises the prefix
