How To Create Hosts

Steps

1. In the left-hand navigation menu, click hosts Setup.

   The HTML user interface displays the Hosts Setup page, which allows you to access the three most common tasks; creating hosts, creating hosts sets, and creating host searches.

2. In the Hosts Setup page, click hosts.

   The HTML user interface displays the Hosts page, which displays a list of hosts.

3. In the top row of the table listing hosts, do the following:

   1. Enter a name for the new host in the Host text box

   2. Use the pull-down menu to select a host type for the host

   3. Enter a brief description of the new host in the Description text box

   4. Click create

   The HTML user interface displays the Hosts Edit page for the new host.

4. Use the controls on the Hosts Edit page to configure the new host.

   1. In the host type field, use the pull-down menu to select the host type

   2. Click the appropriate button to indicate whether this is a physical host or a virtual host. For information about physical hosts and virtual hosts, see Physical Hosts and Virtual Hosts

   3. If the host type you selected has attributes associated with it, the Hosts Edit page lists the attributes, along with their default values, in the attribute table. To assign a non-default value to an attribute, enter the value in the attribute column for the attribute row describing the attribute
