Device Network Hostname Template

Allows you to specify the host name that is passed to the DHCP server with DHCP requests.

If this policy is set to a nonempty string, that string will be used as the device host name during the DHCP request.

The string can contain the $"ASSET_ID", $"SERIAL_NUM", $"MAC_ADDR", $"MACHINE_NAME", and $"LOCATION" variables. These variables will be replaced with values found on the device. The resulting substitution should be a valid host name per RFC 1035, section 3.1.

If this policy is not set or if the value after substitution is not a valid host name, no host name will be used in the DHCP request.
