Setting Default Description
APFully Qualified
Domain Name
Options
No
Sets AirWave to use fully qualified domain names for APs instead of the AP
name. For example, ‘testap.yourdomain.com; would be used instead of
‘testap.’ Select one of the following options:
l Don’t use FQDN - This default value specifies that the fully qualified
domain name will not be used.
l Use AP Name with FQDN - The AP name will prepend the FQDN, for
example “somehostname (my.hostname.com).” Note that if the AP name
is not present, then the FQDN will still appear in parenthesis.
l Use only FQDN - Only the fully qualified domain name will be used.
NOTE: This option is supported only for Cisco IOS, Dell Networking W-
Series, Aruba Networks, and Alcatel-Lucent devices.
