COMMAND MODE
Router Configuration
COMMAND USAGE
â—† 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.
â—† An access list can be used to filter networks according to the IP address
of the router supplying the routing information. For example, to filter
out unreliable routing information from routers not under your
administrative control.
â—† 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
