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 window 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.
