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.

Configure the setting in the menu that appears. The Add and Modify menus for OSPF host route setting are nearly identical. The
only difference being that if users are changing an existing configuration, the Host Address will not be accessible to change. To
change an existing configuration, click on the hyperlinked Host Address in the list for the configuration to change and proceed to
change the metric or area ID. To eliminate an existing configuration, click the
removed.
Use the menu below to set up OSPF host routes.
