# distance

#### Syntax

The options available vary depending on your routing protocol context; that is, on whether you are configuring OSPF or RIP.

For OSPF:

[ no ] distance { ospfWeight | ospf { external distExt | inter-area disInter | intra-area disIntra } [ external distExt | inter-area distInter | intra-area distIntra ]* }

For RIP:

[ no ] distance ripWeight

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JUNOSe Release 7.1.0.

#### Description

- ospf—OSPF routes
- distExt—Distance for external type 5 and type 7 routes; a number in the range 1–255
- disInter—Distance for interarea routes; a number in the range 1–255
- disIntra—Distance for intra-area routes; a number in the range 1–255
- *—Indicates that one or more parameters can be repeated multiple times in a list in the command line
