9.6.3.3
distance
Description
With this command, you specify the administrative distance for the RIP protocol. This value
is taken into account if routing information is learned from different routing protocols.
The lowest value for the administrative distance "1" means the highest reliability of the
routing information. Routing information from a system with the value "255" is so unreliable
that it is not learnt by the neighbor routers.
Requirement
You are in the RIPv2 Router configuration mode.
The command prompt is as follows:
cli(config-rip)#
Syntax
Call up the command with the following parameters:
distance dist<1-255> [route-map <name(20)>]
