Use the Routing Protocol > RIP > Distance (Add) page to define an administrative distance for external routes learned from other routing protocols.
Command Usage
Administrative distance is used by the routers to select the preferred path when there are two or more different routes to the same destination from two different routing protocols. A smaller administrative distance indicates a more reliable protocol.
The administrative distance is applied to all routes learned for the specified network.
Command Parameters
Administrative distance for external routes. External routes are routes for which the best path is learned from a neighbor external to the local RIP autonomous system. Routes with a distance of 255 are not installed in the routing table. (Range: 1-255)
IP address of a route entry.
This mask identifies the host address bits used for associated routing entries.
