M5300, M6100, and M7100 Series ProSAFE Managed Switches whose prefix and wildcard mask are the longest match for a neighbor's address is applied to routes from that neighbor. An ECMP route's distance is determined by applying distance commands to the neighbor that provided the best path. The distance command is not applied to existing routes. To apply configuration changes to the distance command itself or the prefix list to which a distance command applies, you must force a hard reset of affected neighbors. Default Format Mode BGP assigns preference values according to the distance bgp command, unless overridden for specific neighbors or prefixes by this command. distance distance [prefix wildcard-mask [prefix-list]] BGP Router Config Parameter distance prefix wildcard-mask prefix-list Description The preference value for matching routes. The range is 1 to 255. [Optional] Routes learned from BGP peers whose address falls within this prefix are assigned the configured distance value. The wildcard-mask is an inverted network mask whose 1 bits indicate the don't care portion of the prefix. [Optional] A prefix list can optionally be specified to limit the distance value to a specific set of destination prefixes learned from matching neighbors. Command example: The following example sets the preference value of the BGP route to 100.0.0.0/8 from neighbor 10.1.1.1: (R1) (Config)# ip prefix-list pfx-list1 permit 100.0.0.0/8 (R1) (Config)# router bgp 1 (R1) (Config-router)# distance 25 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 pfx-list1 Command example: The following example sets the preference value to 12 for all BGP routes from neighbor 10.1.1.1: (R1) (Config-router)# distance 12 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 Command example: The following example sets the preference value of all routes within 100.0.0.0/8 from any neighbor: (R1) (Config)# ip prefix-list pfx-list2 permit 100.0.0.0/8 ge 8 (R1) (Config)# router bgp 1 (R1) (Config-router)#distance 25 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 pfx-list2 Border Gateway Protocol Commands 851
