Configuring a Hostname for the Device
You can configure a hostname (FQDN) for the device. This hostname should also be defined at a DNS server so that when queried, the DNS can resolve the hostname into the device's correct IP address.
A configured hostname affects the following:
|
■
|
The device's CLI (remotely using Telnet/SSH) can be accessed (logged in) using the hostname (instead of the OAMP IP address). For example, when logging into the Web interface through HTTP, you would enter the hostname in your Web browser like this: http://<hostname>. |
|
●
|
CLI: The CLI prompt displays the hostname instead of the device type. |
|
■
|
The device's SNMP interface's SysName object (under MIB-2) is set to the hostname. |
|
■
|
TLS certificates used by the device for HTTPS-based communication with AudioCodes OVOC are issued with a hostname (instead of an IP address). For certificate signing requests (CSR) with a Certification Authority (CA), the hostname is used as the Common Name (CN or Subject Name) and Subject Alternative Name (SAN). For configuring CSRs, see Assigning CSR-based Certificates to TLS Contexts. |
