Description
The distance command allows you to change the trustworthiness of a route’s source relative to other routing protocols. The lower the distance, the more the route’s source is trusted. Routes with a distance of 255 are not added to the route table. Chapter 8 discusses how routing protocols use administrative distances and lists the default value for each protocol.
-

-
