13.2.3.13 distance ospf
Use this command to configure the administrative distance for OSPF routes. If several routes
(coming from different protocols) are presented to the Matrix Series Route Table Manager (RTM),
the protocol with the lowest administrative distance will be chosen for route installation. By default,
OSPF administrative distance is set to 110. The
distance ospf
command can be used to change this
value, resetting OSPF’s route preference in relation to other routes as shown in the table below.
