4 Fill in the fields:
DNS suffix: Provides a suffix for all of your device's names.
For example, if you enter "provo.novell.com" and a device's name is "device1," that device's
full name becomes "device1.provo.novell.com."
Name servers: To control what DNS servers the device uses, specify a DNS name server, then
click Add to place it into the listing.
So that a booting device can find a name server efficiently, specify multiple DNS name servers.
For optimal availability of a DNS server for a device, you can rearrange the order using Move
up and Move down, one name server entry at a time.
You can delete multiple name servers by selecting them and clicking Remove.
Device name: You can determine the default device names for non-registered devices. The
name is applied after the device is imaged.
This can be useful for when you have multiple devices to be imaged. You can automatically
provide unique names for each device (from its BIOS asset tag or its BIOS serial number), as
well as group devices by providing the same prefix for their names.
Options:
Use prefix: ____: This provides a common prefix to the device names, such as Lab1 to
distinguish them from the devices in Lab2. This can be useful when doing bulk imaging of
certain groups of devices. It is limited to 8 characters.
If this option is used, the prefix you enter here is appended with a random string of letters
and numbers to make the device name 15 characters long. Underscores and hyphens are
valid in your prefix. The remaining random string uniquely names the device.
For example, if you enter Lab1_, then ten other characters are randomly generated to
complete the name with Lab1 separated from the random characters by the underscore for
readability.
