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
confidence in that route is low. Routes assigned an administrative distance of 255
are not installed in the routing table.
