Does anyone have the syntac for the parent/child relationship stuff.  The FAQ links are both broken and looking through the PDF doc, mentions it and says:

 

<parent_host> command.  So, for instance, if I had a router and a switch, would I add:

 

parent_host        router1

 

to the switch host command?

Define the router as a 'parent' to the switches in the hosts config
file.
