Adding an IP Host

This procedure associates hostnames with IP addresses using the ent-ip-host command.

The ent-ip-host command uses the following parameters.

:host– The host name to be associated with the IP address. This parameter identifies the logical name assigned to the device with the IP address indicated. The host name can contain up to 60 characters (using only these characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, -, .) and is not case sensitive. The host name must begin with a letter. Host names containing a dash (-) must be enclosed in double quotes.

:ipaddr – The IP address to be associated with the hostname. The node’s IP address. This is an IP address expressed in standard “dot notation.” IP addresses consist of the system’s network number and the machine’s unique host number.

:type – Specifies if the host resides on the IP card on the EAGLE 5 (type=local, the default value), or if the host resides on equipment that is not in the EAGLE 5 (type=remote). This parameter is optional.

The EAGLE 5 can contain a maximum of 4096 IP hosts.

The IP address for a local host must be shown in the rtrv-ip-lnk output.

The IP address for a remote host must not be shown in the rtrv-ip-lnk output.

Display the current IP host information in the database by entering the rtrv-ip-host:display=all command.

The following is an example of the possible output.

Verify that the IP address assigned to the IP links by entering the rtrv-ip-lnk command.

The following is an example of the possible output.

IP-LNK   table is (20 of 2048) 1% full.

If a local host is being configured in this procedure, the IP address assigned to the local host must be shown in the rtrv-ip-lnk output. If the IP address is not shown in the rtrv-ip-lnk output, add the IP address by performing the Configuring an IP Link procedure.

If a remote host is being configured in this procedure, the IP address assigned to the remote host cannot be shown in the rtrv-ip-lnk output.

Add IP host information to the database by entering the ent-ip-host command.
If a local host is being configured, enter the ent-ip-host command with the IP address from 2, and the type=local parameter or without the type parameter. If the type parameter is not specified with the ent-ip-host command, the type parameter value defaults to local.
If a remote host is being configured, enter the ent-ip-host command with the IP address that is not shown in 2, and the type=remote parameter.

For example, enter this command.

ent-ip-host:host=”kc-hlr1”:ipaddr=192.1.1.30

When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:18:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
ENT-IP-HOST: MASP A - COMPLTD
```
Verify the new IP host information in the database by entering the rtrv-ip-host command with the host parameter value specified in 3.
For this example, enter this command.

rtrv-ip-host:host=”kc-hlr1”

The following is an example of the possible output.
```
rlghncxa03w 13-06-28 21:19:37 GMT EAGLE5 45.0.0
LOCAL IPADDR    LOCAL HOST

Back up the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.

These messages should appear, the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first.


BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on standby MASP.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.
