Usage
Information CAUTION: Dell Networking recommends that you do not change the
administrative distance of internal routes. Changing the administrative
distances may cause routing table inconsistencies.
The higher the administrative distance assigned to a route means that your
confidence in that route is low. Routes assigned an administrative distance of 255
are not installed in the routing table. Routes from confederations are treated as
internal BGP routes.
