Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`<1-255>`		Enter a value for the administrative distance. The distance value (i.e. the preference value) ranges between 1 and 255. The administrative distance (route preference value) can be updated for routes filtered via only one route map. The distance (route preference) should be disassociated for the already associated route map if distance needs to be associated for another route map.
