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 11.
Note: Just as iSeries 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 12 and Figure 13 on page 20 show how the host table looks after you enter
all hosts explicitly known.
