Assigning Host Name / IP Address Pairs
You can assign symbolic names (
host names
) for devices that can
communicate with or from the bridge. If a device has an IP
address, a host name can be assigned to it. This host name can
then be used instead of the IP address to identify the device,
when using the bridge. It is not necessary to assign host names,
but they are a lot easier to remember than IP addresses. The IP
Host Table screen is used for assigning IP address / host name
pairs and is primarily used for Telnet.
Select HOST TABLE from the Network Protocol menu.
The IP Host Table screen appears, displaying two tables, IP
Addresses and Host Name, as shown in Figure 2-18
. The Host
Name table lists the existing host names assigned to the
corresponding IP address in the IP Addresses table.
Enter IP address / host name pairs for devices that can access the
bridge. The host name must be unique for each device. For a
bridge, use the name defined in its System Information screen as
its host name.
