To assign a name for every IP address, a new tag, “pcsn”, has been
introduced. This tag is a Boolean tag. If set, the DHCP server gives
priority to the name (if any) provided by the client. A name should be a
fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If the name provided by the client
is NOT a FQDN, then the DHCP server will try to append the domain
name (if set using the ‘dn’ tag) else it appends “.” and updates the DDNS.
If the “pcsn” tag is unset, then the DHCP server will try to assign a
name of its choice for every IP address.
To enable the DHCP server to perform updates to the DDNS, a new tag,
“ddns-address”, specifying the address of the DDNS server, has to be
added in the DHCP_POOL_GROUP or DHCP_DEVICE_GROUP keywords. The
“pcsn” tag is also added within the same entry.
A sample DHCP_DEVICE_GROUP entry with the ”ddns-address” tag and
the “pcsn” tag is shown below:
DHCP_DEVICE_GROUP:\
