"distance" on page 1736

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.

These parameters are displayed:

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)

IP Address – IP address of a route entry.

Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for

associated routing entries.

To define an administrative distance for external routes learned from other

routing protocols:

Click Routing Protocol, RIP, Distance.

Select Add from the Action list.

Enter the distance, the external route, and optionally enter the name of

an ACL to filter networks according to the IP address of the router

supplying the routing information.
