distance
Use this command to configure the administrative distance for RIP routes. If several routes (coming
from different protocols) are presented to the Matrix Series Route Table Manager (RTM), the
protocol with the lowest administrative distance will be chosen for route installation. By default,
RIP administrative distance is set to 120. The distance command can be used to change this value,
resetting RIP's route preference in relation to other routes as shown in the table below.
