How to view administrative distance?

VK9H13 — Sat, 20 Jan 2024 22:34:16 GMT

Hi everyone,

How would I see administrative distance of the routes in the routing table?

they seem to not be visible in the gui (more runtime stats) or via cli (show routing routes).

is there a special command or special area via gui I can see this information??

Hello @VK9H13

you can see this under: Network > Virtual Routers > [VR Name] > Router Settings:

Kind Regards

This is great, appreciate it.

do you know if there is a way to see what it is per route?

for example, in Cisco iOS, doing a show ip route will show you the AD of the route and metric of that route.

Thank you for reply @VK9H13

Unfortunately, I am not aware of PA Firewall having the same equivalent of what Cisco has to see this information per route bases.

Kind Regards

> show routing summary

Will show how many routes are from different protocols (under GLOBAL ROUTING RESOURCE USAGE), Administrative Distance of protocols (under VIRTUAL ROUTER)

> show routing route destination 10.10.10.0/24

Shows route details like what protocol it sources from.

In GUI you can see same info under

Network > Virtual Routers > More Runtime Stats > Route Table

Network > Virtual Routers > More Runtime Stats > Forwarding Table shows which route got selected
