installed in the routing table. (Range: 1-255)
network-address - IP address of a route entry.
netmask - Network mask for the route. This mask identifies the network
address bits used for the associated routing entries.

Command Usage
◆ Administrative distance is used by the routers to select the preferred path when
there are two or more different routes to the same destination from two
different routing protocols. A smaller administrative distance indicates a more
reliable protocol.
◆ The administrative distance is applied to all routes learned for the specified
network.
Example
Console(config-router)#distance 2 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0
Console(config-router)#
