(RIP), use the
distance command. To remove the distance and restore the system to its default condition,
use the no form of this command.

no distance admin-distance
Syntax Description
Command Default admin-distance : 120
Command Modes Router address-family configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command to change the preference of RIP routes over other protocol routes. Numerically, an
administrative distance is an integer from 1 to 255. In general, a higher value indicates a lower trust
rating. An administrative distance of 255 means that the routing information source cannot be trusted at
all and should be ignored.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to set the administrative distance for RIP:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# router rip Enterprise
switch(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
switch(config-router-af)# distance 85
switch(config-router-af)#
