- Getting help
The network ip addr show command does not display all the FQDN entries for an IP address
The network ip addr show command displays a maximum of two FQDN entries though an IP address might be assigned more entries.
(IA-43181)
Workaround:
Use the network host show command or the /etc/hosts file to view all the FQDN entries that are associated with the IP address.
