Adding an Entry to the Host Table
The Add TCP/IP Host Table Entry display provides fields for an Internet address,
associated host name, and an optional text description.
To add an entry to your local host table, type option 10 on the Configure TCP/IP
menu. The Work with TCP/IP Host Table Entries display is shown in Figure 19.
Note: Just as AS/400 TCP/IP automatically creates a LOOPBACK interface, it also
automatically adds an entry to your local host table to associate the IP
address 127.0.0.1 with the host names LOOPBACK and LOCALHOST. Type
option 1 (Add) at the input-capable top list entry to show the Add TCP/IP
Host Table Entry display.

Figure 20 and Figure 21 on page 40 show how the host table looks after you enter
all hosts explicitly known.
