############
Static Route
############

Test to verify RIP **default-distance** (administrative distance) configuration.
Administrative distance determines route preference when multiple routing protocols
provide routes to the same destination. Lower values are preferred. By default, RIP
uses distance 120, while static routes use distance 1. This test validates that
distance values can be modified to change route preference between RIP and static routes.

*******************************************
Test RIP Default Distance Static Route Wins
*******************************************

Description
===========

Test RIP route preference with **default distance values**.
By default, **RIP uses distance 120** and **static routes use distance 1**.
**DUT1** redistributes connected route ``10.10.10.0/24`` via RIP.
**DUT0** receives this route via RIP and also has a static route to the same destination.
The **static route wins** because it has lower distance.
The static route is installed in the routing table instead of the RIP route.

*******************************************
Test RIP Default Distance Modified RIP Wins
*******************************************

Description
===========

Test RIP route preference with **modified distance values**.
**DUT1** redistributes connected route ``10.10.10.0/24`` via RIP.
**DUT0** is configured with ``default-distance 2`` for RIP and static route with ``distance 10``.
Now the **RIP route wins** because it has lower distance.
The RIP route is installed in the routing table instead of the static route.
