Configuring Static DNS Host to Address Entries
You can manually configure static entries in the DNS table that are used to map
domain names to IP addresses.
Command Usage
Static entries may be used for local devices connected directly to the attached
network, or for commonly used resources located elsewhere on the network.
Servers or other network devices may support one or more connections via
multiple IP addresses. If more than one IP address is associated with a host name
in the static table or via information returned from a name server, a DNS client can
try each address in succession, until it establishes a connection with the target
device.
Field Attributes
Host Name – Name of a host device that is mapped to one or more IP addresses.
(Range: 1-64 characters)
IP Address – Internet address(es) associated with a host name.
(Range: 1-8 addresses)
Alias – Displays the host names that are mapped to the same address(es) as a
previously configured entry.
