8. 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 overriden 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 strings in DHCP.
