Multihost Mode Using the MSS
5-12
5.6.1 Enabling Multihost Mode
To configure one of the MSS serial ports for a dedicated multihost connection, use the
Change Dedicated command with Hostlist as the host name.
Figure 5-13: Enabling Multihost Mode
When you enable a dedicated connection, the MSS disables local mode hotkeys for session
manipulation.
5.6.2 Adding Hosts
The host list can include up to 12 host entries in any combination of TCP (raw, Telnet, and
Rlogin) and UDP addresses.
Figure 5-14: Adding Entries to the Host Table
In the example, the UDP host entry is actually a broadcast IP address. Data is sent to all
hosts on that particular subnet.
5.6.3 Removing Hosts
To remove an entry from the host table, use the Show Hostlist command to find out its
entry number, then use the Hostlist Delete command to delete it.
