Configuring a Host Name
The Host table is the static mapping of mnemonic host names to IP addresses,
which is analogous to the ARP table. Use the host command to manage entries in
the Host table of the CSS.
The syntax for this global configuration mode command is:
host host_name ip_address
The variables are as follows:
• host_name - The name of the host. Enter an unquoted text string with no
spaces and a length from 1 to 16 characters.
• ip_address - The address associated with the host name. Enter the IP address
in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.11.1).
To add a host to the Host table, the host name must not exist in the Host table. To
change a current host address, remove the host name and then add it again to the
Host table with the new address.
For example:
(config)# host CSS11501-LML 192.168.3.6
To remove the existing host from the Host table, enter:
(config)# no host CSS11501-LML
To display a list of host names, enter:
(config)# show running-config global

Chapter 3, Configuring the Domain Name Service, provides information to
configure the Domain Name Service (DNS), the facility that translates host names
such as myhost.mydomain.com to IP addresses.
