HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Version 4.3 administrator guide

2. Fill in the Host Name and IP Address fields. There are three ways you can do this, described
in order of preference.
A host name must start with a letter and contain only letters, digits, periods, underscores,
and hyphens. Host names are not case sensitive. For example, xy3-z5 and
xy3-z5.a32c.edu.
The IP address can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address. An IPv4 address consists of four decimal
fields, each in the range 0 to 255, separated by periods. For example 192.0.2.4. IPv6 addresses
are in colon notation. For example, 2001:db8::100. For more information, see inet6(3N).
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 xyz.
