Configuring a Hostname for the Device

You can configure a hostname (FQDN) for the device, which affects the following:

■

CLI: The device's CLI (remotely using Telnet/SSH) can be accessed (logged in) using the hostname (instead of the OAMP IP address). The CLI prompt displays the hostname instead of the device type.

■

SNMP: The device's SNMP interface's SysName object (under MIB-2) is set to the hostname.

■

OVOC: 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.

■

CDR Local Storage: The name of the CDR file can include the device's hostname, by using the format specifier (placeholder) "%<hostname>" when configuring the name using the 'CDR File Name' [CDRLocalFileName] parameter (see Storing CDRs Locally on the Device).

If you configure a hostname, you also need to define it on a DNS server so that when queried, the DNS server can resolve the hostname into the device's OAMP IP address.
