Static vs iBGP distance

Hello,

 

In a situation with sd-wan with a static route for a zone and via iBGP I receive the same prefix for another zone, even changing the administrative distance of the static route to the same as iBGP, the static prevails.

 

Anything other than administrative distance to consider?

 

Thanks

Putting the question in another way.

 

Two HUBs (one main, one backup) that redistribute the default route (centralized Internet for some VLANs) and static default for the ISP underlay (local breakout for other VLANs) how can I notice if for example HUB1 loses connectivity with the Centralized Internet?

 

Regards,

Even with the same administrative distance, static routes typically take precedence over dynamic routes like iBGP. You might also want to check route preference, longest prefix match Minecraft Bedrock Edition, and any route filtering or redistribution policies that could be affecting selection.
