Not sure though , but a "clear ip route" after changing the "distance" might work.
Awaiting valuable inputs from the other grp members .

To begin with, I see both routes in the EIGRP topology table and also in theIP routing table. I played around with the 'delay' of the connecting links to ensure that router A sees the routes as equally feasible i.e. router A's feasible distance to the destination via both B and C is the same. So far so good. In order to prefer the path to the EXternal destination via router B, I decided to INCREASE the admin distance of the route being advertized by router C. Thinking that the route advertized via B would have a lower admin distance and would be prefered. I added the following configuration statements on router A.... Under EIGRP distance 175 172.16.50.1 0.0.0.0 10 Globally access-list 10 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 The advertizing interface of router C has an IP of 172.16.50.1/30 The EXternal route I am trying to play with is 192.168.1.0/24. Results: No change to the admin distance of the EXternal routes :(( If the route that I am trying to modify the admin distance of is INTERNAL,this concept works fine! Is there something special that needs to be taken care to modify the admin distance of EXternal EIGRP routes?
