 Go to “Configuring IP Aliases” on page 229.
 Select another item in the WX Switch wizard, if you are using this
wizard.
 Click Finish to close the wizard and save changes.
Configuring IP Aliases You can map an IP address to a name by creating an IP alias. For example,
if you create an IP alias carmel for IP address 10.20.30.40, you could type
telnet carmel rather than telnet 10.20.30.40. You can use IP aliases in
conjunction with DNS. If you use IP aliases and DNS is enabled, the WX
looks up IP aliases before checking for entries on a DNS server.
