at system startup to initialize the network hosts table. This table associates
network names with IP addresses. Use of the
hosts table is entirely optional,
but might facilitate frequently needed connections. Each host entry is a single
line of the format:
IP-address official_host_name nicknames ...
where
IP-address is a text string in standard IP Address format (i.e., 10.0.0.2).
official_host_name is the first name selected for this host.
nicknames is an optional list of additional aliases for the host (separated by
spaces).
The following is an example of host file contents.
192.168.1.90 bruno
200.0.0.42 socrates
200.0.0.45 plato
200.0.0.47 fred
Note
The host file does not exist until you enter the host “ add ”
command.
SN60023 > host “add”,"plato","200.0.0.45"
SN60023 >
host “ delete ”,“ hostname ”
The host “ delete ” command deletes the named host from the hosts table
and hosts file. If the hostname is an alias, then only the alias is removed. If
hostname is the official host name, the entry and all aliases are removed.
