IP Host Names Continued
You can also allow a server to handle the IP address to friendly-name resolution.
To indicate a name server with an IP address 172.33.44.1 be used by the router for name resolution type:
- router(config)# ip name-server 172.33.44.1
When host name tables or name servers are used, it allows you to refer to a device by its name rather than by its ip address. Obviously, this is easier.
