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 condence 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.
