Editing the local DNS table
To edit the DNS table entries, you access the DNS table editor from the terminal server. While
the editor is in use, the system cannot look up addresses in the table or perform automatic
updates. A table entry is one of the eight table indexes. It includes the host name, IP address (or
addresses), and information fields. To edit one or more entries in the local DNS table:
1
At the terminal-server interface, type
dnstab edit
.
If the table has already been created, the number of the entry last edited appears in the
prompt.
2
Type an entry number, or press Enter to edit the entry number currently displayed.
A warning appears if you type an invalid entry number. If the entry exists, the current
value for that entry appears in the prompt.
3
Replace, accept, or clear the displayed name, as follows:
–
To replace the name, type a new name and press Enter.
–
To accept the current name, press Enter.
–
To clear the name, press the spacebar and then Enter.
If you enter a valid name, the system places it in the table (or leaves it there if you
accepted the current name) and prompts you for the corresponding IP address. (For
the characteristics of a valid name, see “Criteria for valid names in the local DNS
table” on page 8-14)
If you clear an entry name, all information in all fields for that entry is discarded.
4
Either type a new IP address and press Enter, or leave the current address and just press
Enter.
–
To change the IP address, type the new IP address
–
If you are changing the name of the entry but not the IP address, just press Enter.
If the address is in the correct format, the system places it in the table and prompts you for
another entry.
5
When you are finished making entries, type the letter
O
and press Enter when the editor
prompts you for another entry.
Deleting an entry from the local DNS table
To delete an entry from the local DNS table:
1
At the terminal server interface, type
dnstab edit
to display the table.
2
Type the number of the entry you want to delete, and press Enter.
3
Press the spacebar, then press Enter.
