Configuring Host Resolution

The Host Resolution page enables network administrators to configure or map host names or fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) to IP addresses.

* 
NOTE: A host resolution entry is automatically created for the SRA appliance itself. Do not delete it.

The SRA appliance can act as both a NetBIOS and WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) client to learn local network host names and corresponding IP addresses.

To resolve a host name to an IP address:
1
Navigate to the Network > Host Resolution page. The Network > Host Resolution page is displayed.
2
Click Add Host Name.
3
In the Add Host Name window, in the IP Address field, type the IP address that maps to the hostname.
4
In the Host Name field, type the hostname that you want to map to the specified IP address.
5
Optionally, in the Alias field, type a string that is the alias for the hostname.
6
Click Add. The Host Resolution page now displays the new host name.
7
Optionally select the Configure auto-added hosts check box on the Network > Host Resolution page. If this option is selected, you can edit or delete automatically added Host entries (such as for IPv6). This option is not recommended, as host mis-configuration could lead to undesirable results.
