Configuring IP Routing
Configuring system-level routing policies
To place the initial entries in the table:
1 At the terminal-server interface, enter:
dnstab edit
Before you make any entries, the table is empty. The editor initially displays zeros for
each of the eight entries in the table. To exit the table editor without making an entry, press
Enter.
2 Type an entry number and press Enter.
A warning appears if you type an invalid entry number. If the entry exists, the current
name for that entry appears in the prompt.
3 Type a valid name for the current entry.
If the system accepts the name, it places the name in the table and prompts you for the IP
address for the name that you just entered.
If you enter an invalid name, the system prompts you to enter a valid name.
4 Type the IP address for the entry.
If you enter an address in the wrong format, the system prompts you for the correct
format. If your format is correct, the system places the address in the table and the editor
prompts you for the next entry.
5 When you are finished making entries, type the letter O and press Enter when the editor
prompts you for another entry.
Editing the local DNS table
To edit the DNS table entries, you access 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. To edit one or more entries in the local DNS table:
1 At the terminal-server interface, enter:
dnstab edit
If the table has already been created, the number of the entry last edited appears in the
prompt.
2 Type an entry number, or press Enter to edit the entry number currently displayed.
A warning appears if you type an invalid entry number. If the entry exists, the current
value for that entry appears in the prompt.
3 Replace, accept, or clear the displayed name, as follows:
– To replace the name, type a new, valid name and press Enter.
– To accept the current name, press Enter.
– To clear the name, press the spacebar, then press Enter.
If you enter a valid name, the system places it in the table (or leaves it there if you
accept the current name) and prompts you for the corresponding IP address.
If you clear an entry name, all information in all fields for that entry is discarded.
4 Either type a new IP address and press Enter, or leave the current address and press Enter.
– To change the IP address, type the new IP address.
– If you are changing the name of the entry but not the IP address, just press Enter.
