Access Point System Naming Convention
The Access Point's system name is used as its host name. In order to prevent Access Points with default configurations
from registering similar host names in DNS, the default system name of the Access Point is uniquely generated. Access
Points generate unique system names by appending the last 3 bytes of the Access Point's MAC address to the default
system name.
The system name must be compliant with the encoding rules for host name as per DNS RFC 1123. The DNS host name
encoding rules are:
• Alphanumeric or hyphen characters are allowed.
• The name cannot start or end with a hyphen.
• The name cannot start with a digit.
• The number of characters has to be 63 or less. (Currently the system name length is limited to 32 bytes).
