Preference

The preference is an integer value from (0 to 255). The user can 
specify the preference value (sometimes called administrative 
distance

) of an individual static route. Among routes to the same 

destination, the route with the lowest preference value is the route 
entered into the forwarding database. By specifying the preference of a 
static route, the user controls whether a static route is more or less 
preferred than routes from dynamic routing protocols. The preference 
also controls whether a static route is more or less preferred than other 
static routes to the same destination.

Metric

Administrative cost of the path to the destination. If no value is entered, 

default is 1. The range is 0–255.
