Routers, in the context of dynamic routing protocols, utilize administrative distance (AD) values to determine the preferred route when learning the same route from multiple sources. Administrative distance is a numerical value assigned to different routing protocols or static routes, representing their trustworthiness or preference. When a router learns the same route from different sources,
