Image upgrades could cause the system to boot with an older system name format that is not
DNS compliant. To prevent problems with dynamic DNS after an image upgrade, the system
name will automatically be converted to a DNS compliant system name.
The rules of conversion of older system names are:
If the length is greater than 63 then the string is truncated. (This will not happen since the
•
system name is anyway limited to 32 bytes)
All invalid characters at the beginning or end of the string are replaced with the character
•
'X'.
All other invalid characters are replaced with hyphens.

Network Configuration
To configure network parameters, use the Network tab.This tab consists of three subtabs:
IP Configuration
•
DHCP Server Configuration
•
DHCP Relay Agent Configuration
•
Link Integrity Configuration
•
IP Configuration
The IP subtab is used to configure the internet (TCP/IP) settings for the access point. See
Figure
18.
These settings can be either entered manually (static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP
address) or obtained automatically (dynamic).
If you prefer to use host names to identify network servers rather than IP addresses, you can
configure the AP to act as a Domain Name Service (DNS) client. When this feature is enabled,
the Access Point contacts the network's DNS server to translate a host name to the appropriate
network IP address. You can use this DNS Client functionality to identify RADIUS servers by
host name. See
Note that Enable DNS Client must be selected before you can configure the other DNS Client
parameters.
Table 5
describes the parameters that you can configure and view on the IP Configuration
subtab.
