Create an Address Context

Some of the following procedures require that you specify an address context in which to create configuration objects. The following procedures use an example address context named AC2 as a placeholder. In actual practice you can specify your own address context name or use the default address context. The following steps create an address context named AC2. 

  1. Click Configuration > System ProvisioningCategory: Base Provisioning >Address Context. The Address Context window opens.
  2. Click New Address Context. The Create New Address Context window opens.
  3. Enter AC2 as the name of the address context (the name must be between 1-23 characters in length).
