Ip Route Distance - Dell Networking 2024 Reference Manual

ip route distance

Use the ip route distance command in Global Configuration mode to set the
default distance (preference) for static routes. Lower route preference values
are preferred when determining the best route. The ip route and ip route
default commands allow optional setting of the distance of an individual
static route. The default distance is used when no distance is specified in
these commands. Changing the default distance does not update the
distance of existing static routes, even if they were assigned the original
default distance. The new default distance are applied to static routes created
after invoking the ip route distance command.
