What command is used to modify RIP's administrative distance on the local router?

In the context of configuring Routing Information Protocol (RIP) on a router, the command used to modify RIP's administrative distance is "distance value." This command is executed in router configuration mode to explicitly set the administrative distance for RIP routes.

Administrative distance is a critical attribute used by routers to determine the trustworthiness of routes learned from different protocols—lower values are preferred. By default, RIP has an administrative distance of 120. If you want to set a different distance, you would use the "distance" command followed by the value you wish to assign.

This command is specific to modifying the routing protocol settings, allowing for fine-tuning in environments where multiple routing protocols are in use, or where you want to prioritize certain protocols over others based on their administrative distances.
