Table C-48. Arguments for the Superuser hosts Command

Argument Description
–q Displays only the names of known hosts.
–an host Adds new name servers to the name server table; these
entries are not saved in non-volatile memory and are lost
when the Remote Annex is rebooted. The syntax is:
hosts –an host [protocol [max_retry
[time-out_retry [base [multiplier]]]]]
All omitted values are set to defaults: time-out_retry is
measured in minutes; base is in milliseconds; and
multiplier is in tenths.
–f host Flushes that host from the host table. Entering the
command without host flushes all entries except the
Remote Annex's own entry.
–ff host Deletes permanent entries loaded from the gateway
section of the configuration file.
–fn Flushes all name servers.
–fn ip_address Flushes all name servers of the given IP address.
–n Lists all name servers.
host Displays information for host. Specify host as a name or
an IP address.
IEN-116 name servers cannot do reverse address queries.
Specifying an IP address succeeds only if the address is in
the local host table.
