Configuring a Hostname for the Device

You can configure a hostname (FQDN) for the device. This hostname should also be defined at a
DNS 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 Web interface and 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>.
● Web: The toolbar displays the hostname (first 16 characters only) instead of the device
type
● 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
CSR-based Certificates to TLS Contexts
■ In HA systems, the device-pair share the same hostname.
➢
To configure a hostname for the device:
1. Open the Network Settings page (Setup menu > IP Network tab > Advanced folder >
Network Settings).
2. In the 'Host Name' field [Hostname], enter the hostname.
3. Click Apply,
on page 128.
