SiteConfig does not automatically deploy hosts files to managed devices as you add or remove
devices. If you add or remove devices from the system description, you must re-deploy the modified
hosts file to all devices.
Generating host tables using SiteConfig
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
• Planned control network settings are applied to control network interfaces and devices are
communicating on the control network as defined in the system description.
• Interfaces for networks that require name resolution via the hosts file, such as the FTP/streaming
network, have settings applied and are communicating.
• You have viewed host names, as currently defined in the system description, and determined
that they are correct.
• The SiteConfig PC is added to the system description so that it is included in the host tables
generated by SiteConfig.
When you add or modify devices or their IP addresses in the SiteConfig system description, you
should update host tables on all devices that use them.
1. In the Network Configuration | Networks tree view, select a network, site, or system node.
2. Click View Hosts file.
A Hosts File Contents window opens that displays the contents of the hosts file as currently
defined in the system description.
3. Verify the information in the hosts file.
