Specifies whether the Dynamic Refresh option is enabled. This option allows dynamic resolution of the FQDN/HostName entered in the Hosts Table, as well as auto updates in case of dynamic IP changes. When Dynamic Refresh is enabled and the configuration is applied, a DNS lookup for the FQDN is performed and the resolved IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is updated and retained in the /etc/hosts file.
Valid entries: Yes (dynamic resolution is enabled and the IP Address field is optional) or No (dynamic resolution is disabled and the IP Address field is required). Default entry: No.
For all Hosts previously configured, Dynamic Refresh will be disabled by default. These hosts will not be refreshed dynamically unless you enable the Dynamic Refresh option.
Specifies the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) associated with the FQDN/Host Name. Maximum length: 16 characters. This field is required when the Dynamic Refresh option is set to No.
