Adding and Editing Host Configuration

The Add Host Configuration page provides you the opportunity to add a host to the /etc/hosts file. When you add a host to the /etc/hosts file, Enterprise Manager can then translate host names into IP addresses. In most cases, host names are much easier to remember than IP addresses.

On the Add Host Configuration page, you can:

  • Associate a host's IP address with a host name.

  • Add, delete, or change the aliases associated with a host

Note: Changes take effect after you click OK.

When editing a host configuration, you can:

  • Change the name of the host

  • Add, delete, or change the aliases associated with the host

Note: Changes are in effect immediately after you click OK.
