Post #1 of 3 (1713 views)

Guys,
We are running IS-IS and have host clns entries so we can easily identify
adj's ect.
I remember someone mentioning that there was a feature that advertised the
locally
confirgued clsn host NAME xx.x.. names accross the network. At the moment we
have long lists of host entries that need to be copied to every machine in
the network.
It was not based on DNS either.

I just cant find the feature anyone have any clues ?

Regards,
Kevin

Kevin,

The feature is called Dynamic Hostname Exchange and is defined by RFC2763.
It has been supported by IOS since early 12.0S code.

I don't recall the name of the feature itself, but it has been present
(and runs automatically) in IOS for a while. I haven't had to type in a
clns host command in a couple years. You might want to pick one box and
remove its clns host command from all your routers. I bet you will
still see its host name in sh isis database and such...
