ip host
Binds names to an IP address in the host cache.
Syntax: [no] ip host name ip-address
name
Host name to be bound to the specified IP address. Host names must comply with the Internet standards for sysName specified in RFC 1907.
ip-address
IP address to be mapped to this host name.
Description: IP addresses are more difficult to remember than names. This command enables you to associate a text name with an IP address.
Use the ip host command to associate up to 8 IP addresses with a host name so that you can refer to the IP addresses by name.
Use the no ip host command to remove the name-to-address mapping.
Factory Default: No host-name-to-IP address mapping configured.
Command Mode: Configuration.
Example 1: 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 hosts 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 not set
Name/address lookup uses static mappings
Host Flags Age Type Address(es)
ChicagoPOP (perm, OK) 0 IP 134.34.45.1
BostonPOP (perm, OK) 0 IP 134.34.44.6
Example 2: You can also use the show running-config command to display the new setting:
router#show running-config
