Add Hosts Window

Use the Add Hosts Window to add one or more static hosts to a defined primary domain. This window enables you to quickly add many hosts.

Note:

You can configure the details of the hosts as you're adding them, or you can modify the hosts later.

The Add Hosts Window is displayed when you click either Add Host on the tool bar or Configure, Add Host on the menu bar.

Note:

It can also be displayed by using the pop-up menu for a primary domain.

The Add Hosts Window has these fields:

Domain name
Specifies the domain for which you want to define hosts. The host name and IP address must accompany the domain name; after specifying all three, click Add. To choose a different domain, click the arrow next to the field to display the list of domains, and then click the desired domain.

Host name
Specifies the name of a host to add, for example:
myhost

Note:

If the host name is not unique in the selected domain, the host will not be added.

The domain name and IP address must accompany the host name; after specifying all three, click Add.

IP address
Specifies the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) of this host. The domain and host names must accompany the IP address; after specifying all three, click Add.

List box
Displays the domains, names, and IP addresses of the hosts you are adding. To configure the details of a host, select the host and click the Details push button. To remove an entry from the list box, select the entry and click Remove.
