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-addressis 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

200.0.0.42socrates

200.0.0.45plato

200.0.0.47fred

Note

The host file does not exist until you enter the host addcommand.

SN60023 > host “add”,"plato","200.0.0.45"

SN60023 >

host delete”,“hostname

The host deletecommand 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.

The host utilities maintain a host file, nvfs:/mgnt/hosts, which is used 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
