Set the unique EventID or ConfigID used by the
Configuration Engine.
•
For
interface num
, enter the type of interface–for

|
mac-address
} enter
dns-reverse
to retrieve the hostname and assign it as
the unique ID, enter
ipaddress
to use the IP address, or
enter
mac-address
to use the MAC address as the
unique ID.
•
