I have seen several places where Cisco recommends setting admin distance
the same (200) for both EBGP and IBGP. A Cisco BGP workshop held in
Stockholm, Sweden in February 2003 (by Alvaro Retana and Daniel Walton)
recommended the following BGP template:
router bgp XXXX
bgp deterministic-med
no synchronization
no auto-summary
distance 200 200 200
