Administrative distance for EIGRP

Description
This command sets the internal and external administrative distances
for the EIGRP protocol. The administrative distance reflects the
trustworthiness of a route’s source relative to other routing
protocols. The internal-distance
applies
to internal routes, which are routes learned from the current EIGRP
routing process (commonly called “autonomous system”).
The external-distance
applies to routes
learned from other EIGRP routing processes.
internal-distance
and
external-distance
must be in the range of
1 to 255. Chapter 8 discusses the use of
administrative distance and shows the default distances for the
different routing protocols.
