Hello,
Is there a good link, for how to configure dns mappings
on a 2501 router.

I have 2 2501s and a 1912, and I want to be able to
reverse telnet from 1 router to the other, or the switch
by using the ip or hostname.

Do mac addresss for these items come into play, or just
ip/hostname.

Thanks very much for any help

Jason
 
This little known trick should get you going.

Map IP Addresses to a Host Name
The protocol translator maintains a table of logical names and their corresponding addressing, also called a host name-to-address mapping. Higher-layer protocols such as Telnet use host names to identify network devices (hosts). The protocol translator and other network devices must be able to associate host names with IP addresses to communicate with other IP devices. Host names and IP addresses can be associated with one another through static or dynamic means.

Manually assigning host names to addresses is useful when you want to force a local address association and you are reasonably certain this address association will not conflict with other associations elsewhere in the internetwork.

To map IP addresses to a host name, perform the following global configuration task:


Task Command
Statically associate a host names with IP addresses. ip host name [TCP-port-number] address1
[address2...address8]

Thank you!

I appreciate you helping me solve another problem.

I hope to return the favor somehow in the future,
