Hostname Field Lengths

This feature applies to the Linux OS for the Net-Net Enterprise Session Director Server Edition (NN-ESD SE) and the Net-Net Enterprise Session Director Virtual Machine Edition (NN-ESD VME) platforms only.

The NN-ESD boot loader and application target/host name fields accept up to 63 ASCII characters (NULL not included). It modifies the ACLI command, configure terminal bootparam and allows you to enter a hostname of up to 63 characters. Previously, these fields on the Net-Net 3280 and 4500 accepted only 24 ASCII characters and the name was truncated if you specified more than 24 characters for the hostname. For example, if the target name was:

alpha-bravo-charlie-1234567890 (30 characters)

the ACLI on previous systems displayed:

alpha-bravo-charlie-1234(configure)#

It now displays the first 12 characters + 3 periods + last 12 characters (NULL not included) as follows:

alpha-bravo-...e-1234567890(configure)#

You must upgrade the NN-ESD boot loader for this feature to take affect. For more information about upgrading the boo tloader, see Chapter 2, the section, Bootloader Upgrade Procedure.
