IP Host command Below is sample configuration on cisco Switch configuration where 2 switches have been given hostnames S1 & S2 with the ‘ip host’ command. Lab Assignment: Set up 2 switches with initial configurations. Give each switch a VLAN1 address of: S1 192.168.1.1/24 Then, set up the "ip host" configurations on each. Example below. S1#config t S2#config t Now you'll be able to telnet and ping each device with just its hostname. Use this link to set up the host file on your PC: How to Edit the hosts File on Windows 10 or 11 |
