Distance

Enter a number from 10 to 255 to specify the administrative distance that is

 

assigned to routes learned by RIP.

 

The lower the administrative distance value is, the more preferable the routing

 

protocol is. See Section 35.1.1 on page 325 for more information about

 

administrative distance.

 

Note: You cannot set two routing protocols to have the same

 

administrative distance.
