Hi,

I don't quite understand this command and Cisco's documentation is not very
clear to me.

distance distance ip-address wildcard-mask [ip-standard-acl |
ip-extended-acl | access-list-name]

What do the IP address and access-list represent. I was thinking the IP is
that of the advertising router and the access-list specifies a route prefix.
Yet I have tried this in a lab and can't set the distance for a specific
route from a specified neighbor.
Can someone please clarify me?

Thanks
