NetworkAutohost

The Autohost feature has added the appliance's hostname and IP address to /etc/hosts.

The appliance requires the ability to resolve its own hostname to an IP address. The mapping is validated each time the appliance's network subsystem is started, and may be determined by DNS lookup or from an entry which was manually added via the CLI. If the appliance cannot determine the mapping this way, the autohost feature automatically adds a "best-guess" entry. While this automatic entry may work in many circumstances, it is not guaranteed to allow proper appliance operation in all environments. This notification may indicate a misconfiguration in the network. Therefore it is recommended that the user examine the appliance's network configuration and either enter the appliance's IP address and hostame to DNS, or manually add an entry to /etc/hosts by using the CLI command "net add etchost".
