7.5.2.3 Configuring Host Names
Use the Host Names Lists Parameters to configure a host name. If you have
set the server configuration so that the server automatically accepts the name a
client suggests for itself or you have added A and PTR records for the hosts to
your DNS/BIND database, you do not need to set up host names.
Note
Follow the instructions in this section only if the Accept Client Name
parameter is set to False.
To configure a host name:
1. Click the Server/Security tab.
2. Choose Host Name Lists from the drop-down list.
3. Choose [New Host name List].
4. For each host name, enter:
– Domain name
– DHCP server name
– Host name Prefix (required as part of the host name)
– Host names
