distance (bgp-router-config)

Configures administrative distance parameters. The distance parameter is a rating of the trustworthiness of a route. The higher the distance, lower is the trust rating. The distance can be set for each type of route indicating its trust rating.

Supported in the following platforms:

Syntax

distance [<IP/M> <1-255> <BGP-ACL-NAME>|bgp <1-255> <1-255> <1-255>]

Parameters

distance [<IP/M> <1-255> <BGP-ACL-NAME>|bgp <1-255> <1-255> <1-255>]
distance <IP/M> <1-255> <BGP-ACL-NAME> Configures the default administrative distance, specified by the
  • <1-255> parameter, when the route‘s source IP address matches the specified IP prefix
    • <IP/M> – Specify the IP source prefix and prefix length.
      • <1-255> – Specify the distance from 1 - 255.
        • <BGP-ACL-NAME> – Optional. Specify the BGP access list name.
bgp <1-255> <1-255> <1-255> Configures the default administrative distance for different route types
  • <1-255> – Configures the default administrative distance for routes external to this AS. Specify a value from 1 - 255.
    • <1-255> – Configures the default administrative distance for routes internal to this AS. Specify a value from 1 - 255.
      • <1-255> – Configures the default administrative distance for local routes. Specify a value from 1 - 255.
