Router entries are checked for applicable destinations.

Router entries take precedence over an assigned default-gateway.
Example
The following example identifies the next-hop-ip and a preference value of 200.

ip route distance
Use the ip route distance command in Global Configuration mode to set the default distance
(preference) for static routes. Lower route preference values are preferred when determining the
best route. The ip route and ip route default commands allow optional setting of the distance
of an individual static route. The default distance is used when no distance is specified in these
commands. Changing the default distance does not update the distance of existing static
routes, even if they were assigned the original default distance. The new default distance are
applied to static routes created after invoking the ip route distance command.
