System Name and DHCP host name...

juriss

My question is...   When a C Series or MXP endpoint gets an IP address via DHCP, can the DNS host name be somthing other than the system name.

We are aware that a static IP address and DNS entry can be setup to do this, but our preference is for DHCP service.

Example:

Endpoint System Name:    OAJ - Region 12   (OAJ is an organization and Region 12 is a geographic location)

Name that appears in TMS based Directory:   OAJ - Region 12

The DHCP FQN becomes....     OAJ---Region-12.ad.bb.com

The host name is created based on the system name, but additional dashes are added because spaces are not permitted

.ad.bb.com is the domain as defined in the DHCP server scope

What we really want is to be able to set the host portion of the FQN separate from the system name.

We really want the FQN to be something like     R12OAJVTC.ad.bb.com   but we do not want the system name to be "R12OAJVTC" because it would be akward to view in the TMS based directory.

Any assistance or info woul be appreciated

Thanks
