distance
Use this command to set OSPF administrative distances.
The administrative distance rates the trustworthiness of a routing information source. A higher distance value means a lower trust rating. For example, an administrative distance of 255 means that the routing information source cannot be trusted and should be ignored.
Use the no form of this command to restore the default value (110).
