OSPF Host Route Settings
OSPF host routes work in a way analogous to RIP, only this is used to share OSPF information with other OSPF routers.
This is used to work around problems that might prevent OSPF information sharing between routers.
To configure OSPF host routes, click the
OSPF Host Route Settings
link. To add a new OSPF Route, click the
Add
button. Configure the setting in the menu that appears. The
Add
and
Modify
menus for OSPF host route setting are nearly
identical. The difference being that if changing an existing configuration, the user will be unable to change the
Host
Address
. To change an existing configuration, click on the hyperlinked
Host Address
in the list for the configuration to
change and proceed to change the metric or area ID. To eliminate an existing configuration, click the in the
Delete
column for the configuration being removed.
