Next Hop Address The outgoing router IP address to use when forwarding traffic to the next router (if any) in
the path toward the destination. The next router is always one of the adjacent neighbors
or the IP address of the local interface for a directly attached network.
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, you
control 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 The administrative cost of the path to the destination. If no value is entered, the default
is 1. The range is 0–255.
