Configuring Host Name

Configuring Host Name

Use the host command to manage entries in the Host table. The Host table is the static mapping of mnemonic host names to IP address, analogous to the ARP table. The syntax for this global configuration mode command is:

host host_name ip_address

•host_name - The name of the host. Enter an unquoted text string with no spaces and a length of 1 to 16 characters.

•ip_address - The address associated with the host name. Enter the IP address in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.11.1).

For example, enter:

(config)# host CSS11150-LML 192.168.3.6

Note To add a host to the Host table, the host name must not already exist.

To change a current host address, remove it and then add it again.

To remove an existing host from the Host table, enter:

(config)# no host CSS11150-LML

To display a list of host names, enter:

(config)# show running-config global

Configuring Idle Timeout

To globally set the total amount of time all sessions can be active before the CSS terminates a console or Telnet session, use the idle timeout command. Enter a timeout value between 0 and 65535 minutes. The default value is enabled for

5 minutes.

Note To override the idle timeout value for a specific session, configure

the terminal timeout command. Terminal commands are user-specific; that is, they apply uniquely for each CSS user.
