Configuring Static DNS Host to Address Entries

You can manually configure static entries in the DNS table that are used to map
domain names to IP addresses.

Command Usage
• Static entries may be used for local devices connected directly to the attached

network, or for commonly used resources located elsewhere on the network.

• Servers or other network devices may support one or more connections via

multiple IP addresses. If more than one IP address is associated with a host name
in the static table or via information returned from a name server, a DNS client can
try each address in succession, until it establishes a connection with the target
device.

Field Attributes
Host Name – Name of a host device that is mapped to one or more IP addresses.

(Range: 1-64 characters)

IP Address – Internet address(es) associated with a host name.

(Range: 1-8 addresses)
