Can be a local name or a fully qualified name that includes the domain name.
Periods at the ends of names are ignored.
On a MAX unit, the DNS table provides additional information about each entry. The
information is in the following two fields, which the unit updates when the system matches the
table entry with a hostname not found by the remote server:
•
# Reads—The number of reads since the unit created the entry. The unit updates this field
each time it finds a local name query match in the local DNS table.
•
Time of Last Read.
You can check the list of hostnames and IP addresses in the table by entering the
terminal-server Show DNStab command.
Figure 9-8 shows an example of a DNS table on a MAX.

Entering hostnames and IP addresses in the local DNS table
To enter IP addresses in a local DNS table, you use the DNS table editor from the terminal
server. While the editor is in use, the system cannot look up addresses in the table or perform
automatic updates. A table entry is one of the eight table indexes. It includes the hostname, IP
address (or addresses), and information fields.
