Can I add a static route Cisco3750Stack#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.6.0.1 10 to the existing static route and be able to test connectivity with the new IP scheme
No, you can't test in the way youryou described because your testing static route won't be active until and unless existthe existing route is in disabled state or deleted . Basically layer3, a layer 3 device gives high priority to lower AD value route entryentries, and second priority is given to secondthe next lowest AD value route entry .. so in In your case, if the existing route is having leasthas the lowest AD value and the newly configured route withhas an AD value of 10 in this case, all of the traffic will choose the existing routerroute entry with lowest AD value .
TwoTo test your requirement..two, two options can be considered:
Take the downtime and delete existing route entry, .so that the newly configured route entry will be activiteactive and traffic will be forwarded based on this route.
configureConfigure static floating route entries with similar Administrative valueDistance values (AD) . So thatTraffic trafficwill isbe equally load balancesbalanced among the two routeroutes, and youryou can check accordingllyverify whetherthat yourthe second route is working as per your requirement orcorrectly notworking.
