Select + Add Row to define String Alias settings:
Use the String Alias field to create aliases for strings that can be utilized at different deployments.
For example, if the main domain at a remote location is called loc1.domain.com and at another
deployment location it is called loc2.domain.com, the alias can be overridden at the remote
location to suit the local (but remote) requirement. At one remote location, the alias functions with
the loc1.domain.com domain and at the other with the loc2.domain.com domain.
A string alias can be used to replace domain name stings in DHCP.
Select OK when completed to update the basic alias rules. Select Reset to revert the screen back
to its last saved configuration.
