13.1.1.4 distance Use this command to configure the administrative distance for RIP routes. If several routes (coming
from different protocols) are presented to the Matrix E1 Series Route Table Manager (RTM), the
protocol with the lowest administrative distance will be chosen for route installation. By default,

resetting RIP’s route preference in relation to other routes as shown in the table below.
