■ local-distance—Administrative distance for local routes in the range 1–255.

The default is 200.

■ The default value is 20 for external routes, 200 for internal route, and 200 for

local routes.

■ The new distance is applied to all routes that are subsequently placed in the IP

routing table. To apply the new distance to routes that are already present in the

IP routing table, you must use the clear ip routes * command to reinstall BGP

routes in the IP routing table.

■ Use the no version to return the distances to their default values, 20, 200, and

200.

■ See distance bgp.

Example 1 Routes learned from other sources can be preferred to routes learned by means of

BGP. Consider the network structure shown in Figure 38 on page 138.

Figure 38: Administrative Distances

Suppose router KC originates 172.17.24.0/21 and advertises the route to router

Chicago by means of EBGP. Both router KC and router Chicago are directly connected

to the network represented by 172.17.24.0/21. If you issue the show ip route

command on router Chicago, the BGP route does not appear. Instead, only the

connected route is displayed.

Both routes are in the IP routing table, but the show ip route command displays

only the best route. (Use the show ip route all command to display all best routes;

in this case the BGP route and the connected route.) Connected routes have a default

distance of 0. Routes learned by means of EBGP have a default value of 20. The

connected route is a better route than the EBGP route and appears in the command

display.

In practice, if two BGP peers are connected to the same network, both peers should

originate the route.

Example 2 Consider the network structure shown in Figure 39 on page 139. Router Chicago

originates prefix 192.168.11.0/24 and advertises it by means of EBGP to router

Albany. Router Albany advertises the route to router Boston by means of IBGP.

Router Albany also redistributes the route into the interior gateway protocol RIP,

which informs router NY of the route. Router NY propagates the route to router

Boston by means of RIP, from which it is injected into BGP.
