Hi,
Picked up an old 2509 from ebay for OOB use, and it is accepting "host" commands, but not able to resolve them?
(config)#ip host test 2008 192.168.2.1
#telnet test
Translating "test"
% Unknown command or computer name, or unable to find computer address
192.168.2.1 is setup on loop0:
#sh ip route 192.168.2.1
Routing entry for 192.168.2.1/32
Known via "connected", distance 0, metric 0 (connected)
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* directly connected, via Loopback0
Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1
tried with no ip domain-lookup and also with ip domain-lookup - Still no joy
telneting to 192.168.2.1 2008 works as expected.
It's running a very old version of ios
#sh ver
