10. Select + Add Row to define String Alias settings.
Use the String Alias field to create aliases for strings that can be utilized at different deployments. For example, if the
main domain at a remote location is called loc1.domain.com and at another deployment location it is called
loc2.domain.com , the alias can be overridden at the remote location to suit the local (but remote) requirement. At one
remote location, the alias functions with the loc1.domain.com domain and at the other with the loc2.domain.com domain.
A string alias can be used to replace domain name strings in DHCP.
