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 being removed.
Use the menus below to add or edit OSPF host routes.
