again, I think I'm not explaining myself clearly. I want to be able to
get the host_name in the hosts.cfg file, like this:
define host{
use edgeswitch-host
host_name 5510-Toole
alias Toole 5510
address 172.16.24.28
}
So I give the IP address 172.16.24.28 and I get 5510-Toole as the
returned value.
Is it possible?
