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. |
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.
