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: 1-127 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.
