Adding hosts
You can use the Add Host dialog box to add the IP address of a host or host name entries in the/etc/hosts file. Data ONTAP uses this file on the storage system's default volume, NIS, and DNS to resolve host names.
About this task 
The /etc/hosts file contains information about the known hosts on the network. Each internet IP address is associated with the official host name and any host name aliases.
Steps 
1.
From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system.
2.
In the navigation pane, click Configuration > Network > Network Files.
3.
In the Etc Hosts tab, click Add.
4.
Specify properties such as the IP address, the host name, and the aliases of the local host you want to add.
5.
Click OK.
6.
Verify that the local host information that you added is included in the list of host configurations in the Etc Hosts tab.
