show hosts

---

Displays host names and the associated IP addresses.

Syntax: show hosts

Description: IP addresses are more difficult to remember than names. The ip host command enables you to associate a text name with an IP address.

Use the show host command to display host names and their associated IP addresses.

Factory Default: None.

Command Mode: Executive and privileged.

Example: In the following example, the ip host commands associate one IP address with the host name ChicagoPOP and one IP address with the host name BostonPOP. The show host command displays the new setting:

router#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. router(config)#ip host ChicagoPOP 134.34.45.1 router(config)#ip host BostonPOP 134.34.44.6 router(config)#end router#show hosts Default domain is avici.com Name/address lookup uses domain service Host Flags Age Type Address(es) ChicagoPOP (perm, OK) 0 IP 134.34.45.1 BostonPOP (perm, OK) 0 IP 134.34.44.6
