administrative-distance


Configures OSPF administrative distance for this router.

Syntax: [no] administrative-distance value

value

Specifies the OSPF administrative-distance for this router. Valid Values: 1 - 252. Default: 110.

Description: Administrative distance is a metric that specifies the reliability of one routing protocol over another, when there are multiple routes to the same destination via multiple routing protocols. Routing protocols are configured from most preferred to least preferred based upon the numeric value specified by administrative distance.

Use the administrative-distance command in OSPF router configuration mode to change the OSPF administrative distance.

Use the no administrative-distance command to reset OSPF administrative distance to its default value.

If the administrative distance configuration has changed, use the show running-config command to display the new value. If a route is selected as the best route, the show ip route ospf command displays the administrative distance for OSPF.

Factory Default: 110.

Command Mode: OSPF Router configuration.

Example 1: In the following example the OSPF administrative distance is changed to 233:

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#router ospf 12

router(config-router)#network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

router(config-router)#administrative-distance 233

router(config-router)#end

router#

Example 2: In the following example the OSPF administrative distance is reset to the default value:

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#router ospf 12

router(config-router)#network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

router(config-router)#no administrative-distance

router(config-router)#end
