Which parameter must be adjusted to configure a floating static route that acts as a backup when a primary route fails?
The next-hop IP address of the route
The subnet mask of the static route
The metric of the static route
The administrative distance of the static route
Adjusting the administrative distance of a static route makes it less preferred than routes with lower administrative distances. By setting a higher administrative distance, the static route 'floats' and is used only if the primary route becomes unavailable. Modifying the metric does not influence the selection of static routes in this context. Changing the next-hop IP address or subnet mask does not create a backup route but alters the route's destination or path.
