set distance

Description: 

Configures an administrative distance to apply to routes that match the route map. The no version removes the set clause from a route map.

NOTE: Setting a distance in a route map is useful only when it is set on a route being installed into the routing table. Distance is used to establish preference between routes to the same prefix to identify the best route to that prefix. Setting distance in any other circumstance has no effect.
