Configuring Host Name Settings
Use the General page to configure the Host Name and Domain Name. The host name and the domain name together
constitute the fully qualified domain name.
Prerequisites
Edgeline EL8000 Chassis Manager Admin privilege
Procedure
1. Click Network in the navigation tree, and then click the General tab.
2. Enter the Subsystem Name (Host name).
The host name is the DNS name of the Edgeline EL8000 Chassis Manager subsystem. This name can be used only if DHCP
and DNS are configured to connect to the Edgeline EL8000 Chassis Manager subsystem name instead of the IP address.
3. Enter the Domain Name if DHCP is not configured.
4. Click Apply.
Host name and domain name limitations
The Subsystem Name (Host name) is initially set at the factory, and is listed on the chassis tag. This default host name is a
combination of EL8000CM followed by the system serial number.
When reconfiguring the Host Name Settings, note the following:
Name service limitations—The subsystem name is used as part of the DNS name.
•
◦
DNS allows alphanumeric characters and hyphens.
◦
Always start the hostname with a letter, and not with a number or a hyphen. Any combination of letters, numbers, and
the hyphen can be used after the first letter.
◦
Name service limitations also apply to the Domain Name.
Namespace issues—To avoid these issues:
•
◦
Do not use the underscore character.
◦
Limit subsystem names to 15 characters.
◦
Verify that you can ping the Edgeline EL8000 Chassis Manager processor by IP address and by DNS name.
◦
Verify that NSLOOKUP resolves the Edgeline EL8000 Chassis Manager network address correctly and that no
namespace conflicts exist.
◦
Flush the DNS name if you make any namespace changes.
