RE: Distance command clarification

It's EIGRP. I'll try to summarize. It's like this:

 SW1--(.7)---147.1.37.0/24----(.3)---R3
  |
  |
L0 150.1.7.7/24

SW1 and R3 are running EIGRP over their directly connected link. SW1 is
redistributing connected interface L0 into EIGRP.

R3's EIGRP config

router eigrp 100
 network 145.1.37.3 0.0.0.0
 distance 119 145.1.37.7 0.0.0.0 SW1_LOOPBACK
 no auto-summary
!
ip access-list standard SW1_LOOPBACK
 permit 150.1.7.0 0.0.0.255

Yet I don't see this in the routing table of R3. Still shows 170.

     150.1.0.0/24 is subnetted, 5 subnets
D EX 150.1.7.0 [170/409600] via 145.1.37.7, 00:00:03, Ethernet0/0
R 150.1.6.0 [120/1] via 145.1.136.6, 00:00:06, Ethernet0/1
D EX 150.1.5.0 [170/2560028416] via 145.1.37.7, 00:00:03, Ethernet0/0

Thanks

Hi Peter,

Which routing protocol are you talking about? There are some subtle
differences, but as far as I've experienced, the DocCD covers the
usage adequately.

Also, it might help if you posted some real examples of what has/has
not worked for you.

cheers,
Dale
