Does anybody know how/if I can force cisco router to consider ospf route (I'll consider other igp protocol if its possible) from particular source to be prefereble over connected and locally-entered static routes. This is needed for failover project I'm doing. Please note that especially big question is with "connected" route through subinterface, which I can't find any way to override with igp, for static I could at least make them learned igp routes.
Static is simple: just enter an administrative distance (extra argument at the end) that is higher than OSPF's. Connected has a fixed distance, as far as I know. But you can get around this by simply putting more specifics in your IGP. For instance, if the interface has a /24, you let the router elsewehere announce the two /25s that make up this /24.
