In a local area network, there is no DNS service. I also have no permission to sudo.

In daily work, I frequently use SSH between some nodes. It is so troublesome to type ssh user@ every time.

Is there any other way to bind aliases to IPs and make my SSH more convenient?

Create a Host stanza in your ~/.ssh/config that calls it whatever you like. See the ssh_config(5) man page for details.

Host thatoverthere


$ ssh user@thatoverthere
