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 on the
OSPF
folder. 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 corresponding Modify button 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.
