Hostname (or FQDN)
Format
Hostname (FQDN) entries consist of any number of Domain Labels, separated by
periods, and one Top Label. The minimum field value is a single alphabetical
character to indicate the top label value (e.g., c to indicate ‘.com’).
All hostname fields support IPv4 addresses as well as hostnames.
For Example: In the hostname acme-packet.domainlabel.example100.com, acme-
packet is a domain label, domainlabel is a domain label, example100 is a domain
label, and com is the top label.
• domain label—acme-packet, domainlabel, example100
• top label—com
Note that each label is separated by a period.
The following describes hostname (FQDN) format label types:
• Domain Label—A domain label consists of any number or combination of
alphabetical or numerical characters, or any number or combination of
alphabetical or numerical characters separated by a dash (-). A dash must be
surrounded on both sides by alphabetical or numerical characters, any number
or combination. A dash cannot immediately follow or precede a period . A
domain label is not required in a hostname field value.
• Top Label—A top label is the last segment of the hostname. A top label must
start with an alphabetical character; it cannot start with a numerical character or
with a dash (-). After the first character, a top label can consist of any number,
or combination of alphabetical or numerical characters or any number or
combination of alphabetical or numerical characters separated by a dash. Similar
to dashes in domain labels, a top label dash must be surrounded on both sides
by alphabetical or numerical characters, any number or combination. A single
alphabetical character is the minimum requirement for a hostname field value.
IP Address Format IP address entries must follow the dotted decimal notation format and can only
include numerical characters (0-9). Entries for an IP address field should be between
0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255.
Name Format Name entries must start with either an underscore symbol (_) or an alphabetical
character from A through Z (A-Za-z). After the first character, the field entry can
contain any combination of alphabetical or numerical characters (0-9A-Za-z), as
well as the period (.), the dash (-), and the underscore (_) (e.g.,
acmepacket_configuration). The total entry can be from 1 to 24 characters in length.
Number Format Number entries (e.g., phone number digits without dashes, any address that is not
a hostname, etc.) can be any numerical character (0-9) or alphabetical character from
A through F (A-Fa-f) or any combination of numerical and alphabetical characters
from A through F (0-9A-Fa-f) (e.g., 18005551212 or 18005552CAB). The minimum
number of characters for a number entry is 1, and the maximum number is 32.
