distance (BGP and BGP4+)
This command sets the administrative distance for BGP and BGP4+ routes. The switch uses
this value to select between two or more routes to the same destination from two
different routing protocols. Set the administrative distance for BGP routes in the Router
Configuration mode, and for BGP4+ routes in IPv6 Address Family Configuration mode.
The route with the smallest administrative distance value is added to the Forwarding
Information Base (FIB). For more information, see the Administrative Distance section in
the Route Selection chapter of the AlliedWare Plus Software Reference.
The no variant of this command sets the administrative distance for the route to the
default for the route type.

Parameter Description
<1-255> The administrative distance value you are setting for the route.
<ip-address/m> The IP source prefix that you are changing the administrative
distance for, entered in the form
A.B.C.D/M. This is an IPv4
address in dotted decimal notation followed by a forward slash,
and then the prefix length.
<listname> The name of the access list to be applied to the administrative
distance to selected routes.
<ebgp> Specifies the administrative distance of external BGP (eBGP)
routes. These are routes learnt from a neighbor out of the AS.
Specify the distance as a number between 1 and 255.
Default: 20
<ibgp> Specifies the administrative distance of internal BGP (iBGP)
routes. These are routes learnt from a neighbor within the same
AS. Specify the distance as a number between 1 and 255.
Default: 200
<local> Specifies the administrative distance of local BGP routes. These
are routes redistributed from another protocol within your
device. Specify the distance as a number between 1 and 255.
Default: 200
