HP Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) manual Host Name, Address field, IP Address

Host Manager Screen

Adding New Hosts

NOTE	A host name must start with a letter and contain only letters, digits, periods,
	underscores, and hyphens. Upper- and lowercase letters are equivalent. For example,
	xy3-z5 and xy3-z5.a32c.edu.
	An IP address consists of four decimal fields, each in the range 0 to 255, separated by
	periods (.). For example, 1.2.3.4.

a.Host Name

Enter the host name of the agent host in the Host Name field.

If the administration system is in the same domain as the agent system, you can omit the domain. For example, if both systems are in the abc.edu domain, you can enter xyz.abc.edu or just xyz.

The Set IP Address button becomes active (Figure 6-3).

Figure 6-3 Add Host Dialog: Set IP Address

Click the Set IP Address button to display the IP address of the host in the IP

Address field.

If the IP address cannot be determined, the Add Host Error box is displayed with the message, “Unknown IP Address - unable to resolve Host Name”; click OK and redo this step. An IP address is required.

b.IP Address

Enter the IP address of the agent host in the IP Address field. Use dotted decimal notation, as in 192.151.52.13.
