Answer Description

The administrative distance is used to rate the trustworthiness of the source of a routing information. A lower administrative distance is preferred over a higher one, as it indicates a more reliable source. This concept is essential in selecting routes when multiple protocols provide route information for the same destination.

Here is a quote from Cisco:

Administrative distance is the first criterion that a router uses to determine which routing protocol to use if two protocols provide route information for the same destination. Administrative distance is a measure of the trustworthiness of the source of the routing information
