7.2.6.3 Character Usage Rules
• Character allowed are letters, numbers, single dashes (-), and periods (.).
• Do not use a double dash, such as when you need a placeholder. Instead, use a string such as -X-.
• Do not use spaces, underscores, colons, or other special characters.
7.2.6.4 DNS Naming for Voice Subnets
For voice service, there must be a DNS entry for all RGs in the voice subnet. Moreover, each entry must have a specific struc-
tured name (Fully Qualified Domain Name, or FQDN) so that all related components can communicate with each other and be
aware when changes are made. The format of the FQDN is as follows:
rgvoip-<MAC address>.domain
This is part of the DHCP discovery process, and its success depends on the components that make up voice service being con-
figured and pre-provisioned correctly. This is explained in detail in 7.2.6.6
7.2.6.5 Detailed steps for DHCP Discovery
Refer to Figure 7-6 for the first four steps for DHCP discovery.
