Dear Shiran,
I have tried matching a particular prefix that is learned through OSPF from
multiple paths and altering the distance of it. But the distance changes for
the prefix from both the paths. For example, if R1 and R1 and R3 both are
injecting an OSPF route to the OSPF domain. R3 has two paths to the same
destination. I tried changing the distance from a particular path so that it
prefers only a single path but it does not work.
Also, made sure that the source ip address is specified as the Router-id of
the router injecting the route.
Regards,
Sridhar.
