This dialog allows you to enter a default for the importance (administrative
distance) of an entry in the routing table. The smaller the value, the more
important the entry. The Switch automatically assigns the importance that is
entered in the preference list to a new entry in the routing table.
Note: You always assign "connected" to the smallest value for the adminis-
trative distance.
