Usage Scenario

By default, after receiving a RIP-1 route, the device selects the mask according to the following rules:

If the IP address carried in the received RIP-1 route and the IP address of the interface that receives the RIP-1 route belong to the same network segment, the mask of the RIP-1 route is that of the interface.
If the IP address carried in the received RIP-1 route and the IP address of the interface that receives the RIP-1 route belong to different network segments, the mask of the RIP-1 route is a natural mask.
After the host-route command is run, if the IP address carried in the received RIP-1 route and the IP address of the interface that receives the RIP-1 route belong to the same network segment, the mask carried in the RIP-1 route is adopted.

Precautions

This command applies to RIP-1. In RIP-2, host routes are added to the routing table, regardless of whether the command is run.
