What does the administrative distance of a routing protocol indicate in network configurations?
The physical distance to the destination router
The number of hops in the route
The bandwidth available on the route
The trustworthiness of the route source
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
