By configuring the static route with an administrative distance higher than that of the dynamic route, the router will prefer the dynamic route when it's available. If the dynamic route fails, the static route with the higher administrative distance becomes active, providing a backup route. Metrics are used within dynamic routing protocols to determine best paths but do not affect the selection between static and dynamic routes. Adjusting the bandwidth parameter does not influence administrative distance, and disabling the dynamic routing protocol would prevent the router from learning the dynamic route altogether.
