Use the DISTANCE command to set the administrative distance. By
default, the distance is set to 120.
Administrative distance is used by routers to select the 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.
Use the no form of this command to disable this function.

address and subnet mask of 10.0.0.0/8, and an access list named “mylist”:

switch(config-router)#distance 8 10.0.0.0/8 mylist
