Parameter Description
1-255 External Distance - Sets the administrative distance for 
BGP external routes. External routes are those routes that 
are those learned from a neighbor external to the 
autonomous system. You can specify a value between 1 - 
255. Routes with a distance of 255 are not installed in the 
routing table.
1-255 Internal Distance - Defines the administrative distance for 
BGP internal routes. Internal routes are those routes that 
are learned from another BGP entity within the same 
autonomous system. You can specify a value between 1 - 
255. Routes with a distance of 255 are not installed in the 
routing table.
1-255 Local Distance - Administrative distance for BGP local 
routes. Local routes are those networks added using the 
network command or those that are being redistributed 
from another routing protocol. You can specify a value 
between 1 - 255. Routes with a distance of 255 are not 
installed in the routing table.
