hosts...

i'm an idiot... and a numbers guy... i've never in all my years built a host table on a router that wasn't part of an exercise... i always figured it to be a waste of time, and besides my contention has always been you can  count on the numbers, the addresses, and committing them would force you to map the network better in your head...  i simply would not use a host name to telnet or ssh, ever... i'm stubborn...

can you think of a good reason to build a host table on your equipment other than for lazy telnet or ssh access?  this is not a trick question...

i never could so i didn't bother... pain in the ass waste of time... shit was i ever wrong all these years... but i'm not that stubborn that i won't finally admit there is a good reason...

look here...

but you've known this all along, right? i didn't, because i never use them...

i'll still use the numbers to access devices, but i'm finally sold on the whole host table deal...

send me back to beginners baby...
