Router ODR Question

Hello GS,

Suppose the setup that follows:

R4:
!
interface loopback0
 ip address 4.4.4.4 255.255.255.255
!
interface serial0/0
 ip address 45.45.45.4 255.255.255.0
!

R5:
!
interface serial0/0
 ip address 45.45.45.5 255.255.255.0
!
interface serial0/1
 ip address 56.56.56.5 255.255.255.0
!
router ospf 1
 network 56.56.56.5 0.0.0.0 area 0
!

R6:
!
interface serial0/1
 ip address 56.56.56.6 255.255.255.0
!
router ospf 1
 network 56.56.56.6 0.0.0.0 area 0

Now I need to configure ODR between R4 and R5 and I need full reachability.
I see two options:

#1
R5:
!
router odr
!
router ospf 1
 network 45.45.45.5 0.0.0.0 area 0
 redistribute odr subnets
!

#2
!
R5:
router odr
 network 45.45.0.0
!
router ospf 1
 redistribute odr subnets
!

I prefer option #2 because I see ODR as any other routing protocol. Do we
have any limitations, or all the commands available under the "router odr"
process are valid and maybe used normally ?

R5(config-router)#?
Router configuration commands:
  default Set a command to its defaults
  default-metric Set metric of redistributed routes
  distance Define an administrative distance
  distribute-list Filter networks in routing updates
  exit Exit from routing protocol configuration mode
  help Description of the interactive help system
  maximum-paths Forward packets over multiple paths
  neighbor Specify a neighbor router
  network Enable routing on an IP network
  no Negate a command or set its defaults
  passive-interface Suppress routing updates on an interface
  redistribute Redistribute information from another routing protocol
  timers Adjust routing timers
  traffic-share How to compute traffic share over alternate paths

R5(config-router)#

Thanks for reading.

Antonio
