Usage Information
CAUTION: Dell Networking recommends that you do not change the administrative distance of internal
routes. Changing the administrative distances may cause routing table inconsistencies.
The higher the administrative distance assigned to a route means that your condence in that route is low. Routes
assigned an administrative distance of 255 are not installed in the routing table.
Routes from confederations are treated as internal BGP routes.
