I have a few remote servers which I connect to through the terminal. The servers don't have a domain, only an IP address which is hard to remember when I got a few of them.
Is there a way to permanently store values in the terminal, so that I can do the following?
server1 = 111.222.111.222
And type commands like:
ssh root@server1
instead of:
ssh root@111.222.111.222

For SSH connections, you can create a user configuration file
~/.ssh/config
and place the mappings there e.g.You can easily add other fields such as
Port
(for non-standard ports) andUser
(useful if your username on the remote system differs from that on the local system). Seeman ssh_config
for full details.
