DNS

Add a host table entry for LS999.domain.com. The name needs to resolvable from a public domain DNS server or the local host table. In this case we're going to resolve it locally because a domain isn't yet associated with a new Litmis Space Single Tenant server.

First issue the CFGTCP command and take option 10. You should see something similar to the following. Do an option 1 to add a new entry.

                                                             System:   LS999
 Type options, press Enter.
