hostName
The host name to use for dynamic DNS registration; the host name must:
•
be a string of 255 characters or less
•
start with a letter
•
end with a letter or digit
•
contain only letters, digits, and hyphens
Details
This attribute holds the host name to request during dynamic DNS registration. Dynamic DNS registration works
with DHCP to register the host name specified in this attribute with the DNS server.
The format for
hostName
is
"k-<model number>-<serial number>"
, where
<model number>
and
<serial number>
are replaced with the actual model number and serial number of the instrument (for
example,
"k-707B-1234567"
). Note that hyphens separate the characters of
hostName
.
The length of the fully qualified host name (combined length of the domain and host name with separator
characters) must be less than or equal to 255 characters. Although up to 255 characters can be entered here,
care must be taken to be sure the combined length is also no more than 255 characters.
Example
print(lan.config.dns.hostname)
Outputs the present dynamic DNS host name.
