Usage 
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.
