To Update the /etc/hosts File

Step

Edit /etc/hosts and ensure that the entries are similar to the following example:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1           localhost
111.222.333.44     machine-name loghost

where 111.222.333.44 is the IP address of the N1 System Manager server, and machine-name is the name of the N1 System Manager management server.

For example, if the machine name is n1manager, and the assigned IP address for eth0 is 129.123.111.12, then the /etc/hosts file should contain the following settings:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1          localhost.localdomain localhost
129.123.111.12     n1manager loghost

You must reboot the system after updating the /etc/hosts file.
