first of all fix the command to actually be correct, second redo some of the links and clarify that the command is not iproute2 but ip, and also add that static route configuration is usually done using the network configuration software

less Cisco marketing, fixed links, remove the second set of commands which did not match the text it followed (the gateway of a route is not usually referred to as the destination) which also has nothing to do with the one route that this section is supposed to set. I won't touch the rest of the section because while it is also irrelevant to the initial task, isn't particularly wrong (just badly explained)

[[Cisco Systems|Cisco routers]] running the [[Cisco IOS]] operating system can be configured using the command line interface:<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-02-02 |title=Cisco IOS IP Command Reference, Volume 2 of 4: Routing Protocols, Release 12.3 T - IP Routing Protocol Commands: ip policy route-map through is-type |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130202041013/http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/ip_route/command/reference/ip2_i2gt.html#wp1106404 |access-date=2024-12-18 |website=web.archive.org}}</ref>
Enterprise-level [[Cisco Systems|Cisco routers]] are configurable using the Cisco IOS command line, rather than a web management interface.

Setting the administrative distance to 254 will result in the route being used only as a backup.
