A floating static route is configured with a higher administrative distance than a dynamic routing protocol to ensure that it only takes effect if the dynamic route becomes unavailable. This allows the router to primarily use the dynamic routing protocol for its normal routing decisions, benefiting from its ability to adapt to network changes. If the dynamic route fails, the floating static route will then be used as a backup, providing a failover mechanism without disrupting the primary routing process.
generally static routing protocol has the most trustworthy administrative distance .i.e; 1 and in dynamic routing protocols EIGRP has the best AD.
there may be the issue with the layer 2 protocol like hdlc or ppp is not configured or wrongly configured if the interface is serial interface.
Static routes
inet
The FastEthernet interface of R1 is disabled. One of the default routes is configured incorrectly. A routing protocol is not configured on both routers. The default gateway has not been configured on both routers.
show ip protocol
To allow the subnet configured on that interface to be advertised through a dynamic routing protocol without having that interface participate in the protocol.
EIGRP
Border Gateway Protocol.
The administrative distance (AD) is a metric used by routing protocols to determine the trustworthiness of a route. It assigns a value to each routing protocol, with lower values indicating higher trustworthiness. When a router receives multiple routes to a destination, it will prefer the route with the lowest AD. This ensures that the most reliable routes are used for packet forwarding.
I think your question is 'What is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol' ? If that is so then here's the answer Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol' or DHCP is a Protocol defined in the TCP/IP protocol suite to dynamically configure the Hosts (computers ) in a network. Configurations such as IP address , sub net mask and all other parameters are configured automatically with the help of DHCP server?(which uses the DHCP protocol.
If a mainframe is using TCP/IP as its protocol it is configured the same way any other system using TCP/IP would be configured: an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address.
