Command
Distance EIGRP
Use
This command changes the administrative distance for EIGRP routes.
Syntax
Router(config-router)#distance eigrp <internal distance> <external distance>
Example
In this example, we will change the EIGRP administrative distance to 110. Currently, we see EIGRP is at its default administrative distance of 90.
R1(config)#do show ip route eigrp 2.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets D 2.2.2.2 [90/156160] via 10.1.1.2, 00:00:25, FastEthernet0/0 33.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets D 33.33.33.33 [90/158720] via 10.1.1.2, 00:00:25, FastEthernet0/0 3.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets D 3.3.3.3 [90/158720] via 10.1.1.2, 00:00:25, FastEthernet0/0 10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 3 subnets D 10.2.2.0 [90/30720] via 10.1.1.2, 00:00:25, FastEthernet0/0 133.133.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets D 133.133.133.133 [90/158720] via 10.1.1.2, 00:00:25, FastEthernet0/0
Here, we change the distance with the distance eigrp 110 200.
R1(config)#router eigrp 100 R1(config-router)#distance eigrp 110 200
Now we can see the change is reflected in the routing table.
R1(config-router)#do show ip route eigrp 2.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets D 2.2.2.2 [110/156160] via 10.1.1.2, 00:01:47, FastEthernet0/0 33.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets D 33.33.33.33 [110/158720] via 10.1.1.2, 00:01:47, FastEthernet0/0 3.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets D 3.3.3.3 [110/158720] via 10.1.1.2, 00:01:47, FastEthernet0/0 10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 3 subnets D 10.2.2.0 [110/30720] via 10.1.1.2, 00:01:47, FastEthernet0/0 133.133.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets D 133.133.133.133 [110/158720] via 10.1.1.2, 00:01:47, FastEthernet0/0
