from the switch.
Terminology
Domain Suffix — Includes all labels to the right of the unique host name in a fully qualified domain
name assigned to an IP address. For example, in the fully qualified domain name "device53.ever-

name assigned to a specific IP address.
Fully Qualified Domain Name — The sequence of labels in a domain name identifying a specific
host (host name) and the domain in which it exists. For example, if a device with an IP address
of 10.10.10.101 has a host name of device53 and resides in the evergreen.trees.org domain, then
the device's fully qualified domain name is device53.evergreen.trees.org and the DNS resolution
of this name is 10.10.10.101.
Host Name — The unique, leftmost label in a domain name assigned to a specific IP address in a

from other devices in the same domain. For example, in the evergreen.trees.org domain, if an
