CCNA question

The network administrator wants to configure a static route for backup purposes on a router already configured with RIP. What command will accomplish this?

This was the answer Router(config)# ip route 192.168.14.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.15.2 130 However I thought RIPs AD was 120? so I answered Router(config)# ip route 192.168.14.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.15.2 because of the other two answers

Router(config)# ip route 192.168.14.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.15.2 100 (this is IGRP) Router(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s1(this is a default route) were the other 2 answers

TIA

If it's a backup route you typically only want it active when a primary route is unavailable so that's why the AD has been made greater than the primary routes AD. The other three answers would have given the backup route the same AD or made it lower which would have increased the likelihood of the backup route being active in favour of the primary route.

That makes sense-I ahd forgotten about that-many thanks. btw AD means administarive Distance-the smaller the number the better(I think) example an AD of 0 means the router is connected.
