[no] distance distance network-address netmask
distance - Administrative distance for external routes. External routes are
routes for which the best path is learned from a neighbor external to the
local RIP autonomous system. Routes with a distance of 255 are not
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.
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.
maximum-prefix maximum-routes
no maximum-prefix
maximum-routes - The maximum number of RIP routes which can be
installed in the routing table. (Range: 1-7168)
