3 In the Host Name box, type the name of the IP alias (1 to 32 characters,
with no spaces or tabs).

4 In the Host IP Address box, type the IP address that the IP alias is mapped
to.
5 Click Finish.
6 Do one of the following:
■ Go to “Configuring DNS” on page 244.
■ Select another item in the WX Switch wizard, if you are using this
wizard.
■ Click Finish to close the wizard and save changes.
Configuring DNS You can configure the WX switch to resolve hostnames to their IP
addresses by querying a Domain Name Service (DNS) server. By enabling
DNS, you can specify a hostname rather than an IP address. For example,
rather than typing telnet 10.1.2.3, you could type telnet
monterey.example.com. By default, DNS is not enabled. You can
specify one primary DNS server and up to five secondary DNS servers.
