Hi

Please see below . Wouldn't distance 255 configured under EIGRP ignore
all updates so then what use are the other two distance commands that
follow.

Thanks

In the following example, the router eigrp global configuration command
configures EIGRP routing in autonomous system 1. The network command
configuration specifies EIGRP routing on networks 192.168.7.0 and
172.16.0.0. The first distance router configuration command sets the
default administrative distance to 255, which instructs the router to
ignore all routing updates from routers for which an explicit distance
has not been set. The second distance command sets the administrative
distance to 80 for internal EIGRP routes and to 100 for external EIGRP
routes. The third distance command sets the administrative distance to
120 for the router with the address 172.16.1.3.

Router(config)# router eigrp 1
Router(config-router)# network 192.168.7.0
Router(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0
Router(config-router)# distance 255
Router(config-router)# distance eigrp 80 100
Router(config-router)# distance 120 172.16.1.3 0.0.0.0
