Hello,
Going for an IPV6 lab where multiple points of redistributions between RIPng and OSPFv3 exist, I was looking for a command to manipulate administrative distance in order to prevent sub-optimal routing, as I usually do IPv4.
In IPV4 we have this command :
router ospf 1
distance administrative_distance address wildcard-mask} [access-list-number | name]
This permit to put a higher administrative distance for certain routes.
In OSPFv3 or RIPng I can only set the default administrative distance for the whole routing process but not for certaint routes.
As route-map cannot be used for administrative distance. How, in IPv6 can I change administrative distance for certains routes ?
Thanks for your answer

Hello Morgan,
see if this other version of distance command is supported:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipv6/command/reference/ipv6_04.html#wp2025293
distance [ospf {external | inter-area | intra-area}] distance
with this you change the distance for each OSPF route type.
this can be a workaround.
an alternate way is to filter on the redistribution using a route-map to block the non -optimal route
Hope to help

Hello Giuseppe,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes this other distance syntax is available, and this is the workaround I used.
So it's seems that in IPv6 there is no way to set distance for individual routes ????
Filtering at redistribution is not an option in order to keep redundancy.
Regards
