6-6 distance ospf intra-area administrative-distance

Syntax Description:

  • administrative-distance ” The supplied value will be applied to the administrative distance of either the external, inter-area , or intra-area OSPF routes in the local routing table. The default administrative distance for these OSPF routes is 110.

Purpose: If a router has learned about a network from more than one routing protocol, then the administrative distance is used to select the best route. The best route is the route that will be installed in the IP routing table, the route with the lowest administrative distance. The default administrative distances for the IP routing protocols are:

  • connected ”

  • static ” 1

  • EBGP ” 20

  • EIGRP ” 90

  • IGRP ” 100

  • OSPF ” 110

  • IS-IS ” 115

  • RIP ” 120

  • IBGP ” 200

There are three types of OSPF routes. These types are external (either type 1 or 2), inter-area, and intra-area. External routes are those that have been redistributed into OSPF. A route to an area directly connected to the router is an intra-area route and a route to an area that is not directly connected to the router is an inter-area route. These commands are used to modify the administrative distance of all routes belonging to one of the three types of OSPF routes.

Initial Cisco IOS Software Release: 11.1

Configuration Example: Adjusting the Administrative Distance Based on the Type of OSPF Route

In Figure 6-3, Router A is receiving two OSPF external routes from the redistribution of EIGRP on Router B. Router A is also receiving an OSPF inter-area route and an OSPF intra-area route from Router B.

Figure 6-3. The Three Types of OSPF Routes Are Inter-area, Intra-area, and External

Verify that the different OSPF route types have been configured with the proper administrative distance.

Troubleshooting
Step 1. Verify that there is a neighbor relationship between the OSPF routers using the show ip ospf neighbors command.

Step 2. Verify that the correct administrative distance is being used with the distance ospf command and that the distance is being applied to the correct OSPF route type.
