•Names of any clients from which administration via the CLI or the GUI will be performed

Adding and Deleting Host Entries

The CLI command, config sys hosts info lists the contents of the hosts file.

1.To add a host, type this command:

HP SA8220/config/sys/hosts#add <IP address> ’alias’ <hostname> {’alias1’ <hostname> {’alias2’ <hostname> {’alias3’ <hostname> {’alias4’ <hostname> {’alias5’ <hostname> {’alias6’ <hostname> }}}}}}

For example:

HP SA8220/config/sys/hosts#add 10.5.5.13 alias server13 alias2 http-serv13

Host ip ‘10.5.5.13’ added to host file.

The SA8220 is now able to access other devices on the network by name, either through the local static name table or through DNS.

2.To delete a host, type this command:

HP SA8220/config/sys/hosts#delete <IP

address>

For more information on these commands, see Chapter 5 in the User Guide.
