BGP Commands

 

 

distance bgp

The distance bgp command sets external, internal, and local administrative distances for routes to function. The no distance bgp command sets the default values.

Use the distance bgp command to administer distance based on the preferred routing information source received from a router or group of routers. This enables the system to prioritize protocols dependant upon the distances between 1 to 255, where 0 is the best route, and the most unreliable route is 255. The bgp distance command has an influence on whether the BGP-learned routes are installed in the routing table.

Note: It is recommended that the administrative distance not be changed.
