RIP Commands
distance (RIP)
This command defines administrative distances (route preference) in the RIP domain. The RIP
default ranks higher than all other routed distances.
If several routes to the same destination are offered to the Routing Table Manager (RTM) by
different protocols, installation is based on the distance of the protocol with the lowest value. You
can set the same distance for different protocols (except for multiple static routes) with a tiebreak
based on default distances.
Refer to distance ospf command on page 147 and ip route on page 209 for comparison with
OSPF and static routes.
Syntax

Syntax of the “no” Form
