ured correctly.

# ping 192.168.15.16

Note
❒ When you use NIS, the IP address and host name are written to /etc/hosts
on the master server. When you use DNS, the information is written to a
data file on the name server. After writing the host name and IP address to
the file, make sure that the configuration is correct by pinging the host
name.
# ping host_name
❒ If the host name is registered with an IP address, the server can access the
printer using its host name instead of its IP address.
