| 3.2.7 |  | Configuring host tables |

| To assign host names to addresses, first enter global configuration mode. Issue the command ip host followed by the name of the destination and all IP addresses where the device can be reached. This maps the host name to each of its interface IP addresses. To reach the host, use a telnet or ping command with the name of the router or an IP address that is associated with the router name. The procedure to configure the host table: Enter global configuration mode in the router. Enter the command ip host followed by the name of the router and all IP addresses associated with the interfaces on each router. Continue entering until all routers in the network are entered. Save the configuration to NVRAM.
| Lab Activity Lab Exercise: Configuring Host Tables The goal of this lab is to create IP host tables associating router names with IP addresses.
| Lab Activity e-Lab Activity: Configuring Host Tables In this lab, IP host tables will be created that allow a router to use names to identify all of the attached interfaces on that router.
