Information
CAUTION: Dell Networking recommends not changing 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
confidence 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.
