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 add a new OSPF Route, click the
Add
button. Configure the setting in the window that appears. The
Add
and
Modify
windows for OSPF host route settings are
nearly identical. The difference between them is that if you are changing an existing configuration you will be unable to change
the Host Address. To change an existing configuration, click on the corresponding Modify button in the list for the configuration
to change and proceed to change the metric or area ID.
To configure OSPF host routes, click
L3 Features >
OSPF> OSPF > OSPF Host Route Settings
, as shown below:
