Specifying System Identity

You must name the appliance and specify the domain name in which it is located.

To specify system identity

1. In the AMC, navigate to System Configuration > Network Settings.

2. In the Basic section, click Edit.

   The Basic Network Settings page displays.

   

3. The Appliance name is the host name that is set in CMS on the Managed Appliances page.

   The Appliance name helps you differentiate appliances in several contexts (especially if more than one appliance is running):

   • It sets the command prompt for the SMA appliance.

   • It is saved to a log file, so you can identify the appliance to which a particular log message applies.

   • When you export a configuration file for the appliance (on the Maintenance page in AMC), the Appliance name is prepended to the file name.

   The name is not visible to users.

4. In the Appliance public domain field, type the name of the domain in which the appliance is located (for example, yourcompany.com). This name defines the DNS namespace used to identify hosts accessed by the appliance.
