Dear all expert,

Is it possible to change the distance (AD) on *selected* EIGRP external
route (D EX)?
I spotted that the "distance [AD]" command can only work for "D" routes, but
not "D EX".

Besides, I heard that there might be some IOS bug on "distance [AD]" when
dealing with OSPF in IEWB lab 13 task 3.7. Is it true? Where can I find more
info?

*Example*
ip access standard DOUBLE_ROUTE
 permit 200.0.2.0 0.0.0.255
 permit 150.1.2.0 0.0.0.255
!
router ei 100
 distance 83 130.1.234.3 0.0.0.0 DOUBLE_ROUTE

*Output before applying distance command*
R4#s ip route 200.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 lo | b Gate
Gateway of last resort is not set

D EX 200.0.2.0/24 [170/2686976] via 130.1.124.1, 00:01:33, Serial0/0.124
                  [170/2686976] via 130.1.234.3, 00:01:33, Serial0/0.234

R4#s ip route 150.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 lo | b Gate
Gateway of last resort is not set

     150.1.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 9 subnets, 2 masks
D 150.1.2.0/24 [90/2809856] via 130.1.124.1, 00:00:43, Serial0/0.124
                     [90/2809856] via 130.1.234.3, 00:00:43, Serial0/0.234

*Output after applying distance command

*R4#s ip route 200.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 lo | b Gate

R4#

R4#s ip access
Standard IP access list DOUBLE_ROUTE
    10 permit 200.0.2.0, wildcard bits 0.0.0.255 (2 matches)
    20 permit 150.1.2.0, wildcard bits 0.0.0.255 (2 matches)*
