0 to 4,294,967,295

octets unsigned integer
value.

COST
Specifies the cost for stub host entry. Enter a value

Description
Use the HOST AREA command to configure a stub host entry belonging
to a particular area. This command permits you to advertise specific host
routes in the router-LSA as a stub link. You can perform the same task
with the HOST AREA command.
Since the stub host belongs to the specified router, specifying cost is not
important. By default, no host entry is configured.
Use the no form of this command to remove the host area configuration.
Command Mode
Router mode
Example
The following commands set area 1 to an IP address of 172.16.10.100
and area 2 to an IP address of 172.16.10.101 with a cost of 10:
switch#configure terminal
switch(config)#router ospf 100
