In a 7206 I initially use the default route to get to host a.b.c.d. Now I want to change that to a static route; i.e. 'ip route a.b.c.d 255.255.255.255 w.x.y.z', where w.x.y.z is the address that default route points to. (I have a reason for doing this.) I can ping a.b.c.d, but how can I tell if the static route is being used and not the default route ? Is there an IOS command that will show me, like an ACL or something?
The underlying principle here is that a more specific route will be preffered to a less specific route. Default route is used only when the router does not know about a particular network. In your case it sounds like it does, therefore, it uses a more specific route.
