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 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 

 in the Delete column for 

the configuration to be removed.
