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.
