Overriding a Miscellaneous Network Configuration
Overriding the Network Configuration
An access point 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 a 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:
Select Devices from the Configuration tab.
Select Device Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub menu options.
Select a target device from the device browser in the lower, left-hand side of the UI.
Select Network to expand its sub menu options.
Select Miscellaneous.
NOTE
A blue override icon (to the left of a parameter) defines the parameter as having an override applied.
To remove an override, go to the Basic Configuration screen’s Device Overrides field and select Clear
Overrides. This will remove all overrides from the device.
