Working with Server Entries

Use dscp to add or modify server entries.

Note: When you add or modify a server entry, dscp automatically creates or modifies both master and query lines. The master line and the query line of an interfaces file entry contain identical information.

After you open a session, you can add or modify server entries associated with that session.

Each server entry is made up of a set of attributes. When you add or modify a server entry, dscp prompts you for information about each attribute.
