E-Lab 3.2.7 - Configuring Host Tables
In this lab, IP host tables will be created that allow a router to use names to identify all of the attached interfaces on that router.
These names can be used in place of IP addresses in commands that use IP addresses to identify a location.
Step 1
Enter into global configuration mode.
Step 2
Create an IP host table for the Kigali router that will provide host name resolution for IP addresses on the Kampala router. 
The interface IP addresses on the Kampala router are 172.17.0.2 and 172.18.0.1 using the command ip host kampala 172.17.0.2 172.18.0.1.
Step 3
Exit into privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
Save the configuration.
Step 5
Enter global configuration mode in router Kampala.
Step 6
Create an IP host table for the Kampala router that will provide host name resolution for IP addresses on the Kigali router.
The interface IP addresses on the Kigali router are 172.16.0.1 and 172.17.0.1 using the command ip host kigali 172.16.0.1 172.17.0.1.
Step 7
Exit into privileged EXEC mode.
Step 8
Save the configuration.
Step 9
Test the configuration from kampala to kigali by pinging the name kigali
Step 10
Test the configuration from kigali to kampala by pinging the name kampala.
