Hi Group,

I need advice on the order of evaluation of multiple "distance" commands for
RIP.

For the following config:

!
router rip
 distance 100 173.1.125.0 0.0.0.255
 distance 110 173.1.125.5 0.0.0.0
!

All routes originated by 173.1.125.5 are given AD of 100. It looks like a
first-match rule to me.

For the following config:

!
router rip
 distance 255
 distance 120 173.1.125.5 0.0.0.0
!

This time, all routes originated by 173.1.125.5 are given AD of 120 while
other routes disappear.

Please let me know if there is any rule of thumb.

Thank you.

BR,
Emil
