NOTE A host name must start with a letter and contain only letters, digits, periods,
underscores, and hyphens. Upper- and lowercase letters are equivalent. For example,
xy3-z5 and xy3-z5.a32c.edu.
An IP address consists of four decimal fields, each in the range 0 to 255, separated by
periods (.). For example, 1.2.3.4.
a. Host Name
Enter the host name of the agent host in the Host Name field.
If the administration system is in the same domain as the agent system, you can omit
the domain. For example, if both systems are in the abc.edu domain, you can enter
xyz.abc.edu or just xyz.
The Set IP Address button becomes active (Figure 6-3).
Figure 6-3 Add Host Dialog: Set IP Address
Click the Set IP Address button to display the IP address of the host in the IP
Address field.
If the IP address cannot be determined, the Add Host Error box is displayed with
the message, “Unknown IP Address - unable to resolve Host Name”; click OK and
redo this step. An IP address is required.
b. IP Address
Enter the IP address of the agent host in the IP Address field. Use dotted decimal
notation, as in 192.151.52.13.
