Miscellaneous Network Configuration

Profile Network Configuration

A profile can be configured to include a hostname in a DHCP lease for a requesting device and its
profile. This helps an administrator track the leased DHCP IP address by hostname for the
supported device profile. When numerous DHCP leases are assigned, an administrator can better
track the leases when hostnames are used instead of devices.

To include a hostnames in DHCP request:

1. Select Configuration > Profiles > Network.

2. Expand the Network menu to display its submenu options

3. Select Miscellaneous.
