When Is Administrative Distance More Important Than a Metric?

Описание: Ever wondered how network routers prioritize routes when they have multiple paths to the same destination? This video dives into the critical scenarios where Administrative Distance, not just a lower metric, dictates the best route. Discover why understanding this concept is vital for robust network design and troubleshooting.

In this deep dive, you'll learn:
► The fundamental difference between administrative distance (AD) and routing metrics.
► Key situations where AD takes precedence over a superior metric, such as choosing between different routing protocols.
► How to interpret and manipulate administrative distance values to achieve desired routing behavior.
► Practical examples demonstrating AD's role in preventing routing loops and ensuring path stability.
► The impact of AD on network convergence and overall performance in complex infrastructures.
