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 windows for
OSPF host route setting are nearly identical. The difference being 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 hyperlinked Host Address in the list for the configuration you want to change and proceed to
change the metric or area ID. To eliminate an existing configuration, click the X in the Delete column
for the configuration being removed.
